Well.. actually... I've almost finished an AutoCAD VBA-macro for importing
DAT-files (into Acad 2000(i)).
Just having touble with the transformation matrix thingy... I get the
objects placed correctly, but not rotated/scaled properly.
so... if anyone feel that they could help me out here... contact me....
