Autocad and Vault

A real quick note on Autocad and Vault.
I have seen a lot on the web about people having trouble with vault loading to include menus and toolbars. I will be covering this. I am getting ready to leave for a trip so will add more on this subject when I return.
Lets start with the basics and assume it is laoded and registered on the system properly.
Start Autocad and verify it is available by doing the following:
At command Prompt type: APPLOAD
After the dialog loads browse out and load the following arx files.

VaAc_addin.arx
VaAc_service.arx
VaAc_startupUI.arx

Then go to the start up button and add these to the startup list.
More detail on this as well as what to do if the Vault is not registered with Windows properly.

Visual Lisp Point Transfer

I have a project that I started for work. It was to make setting up points for a data shot and or the download of this data simple. We have sense purchased a new machine and will no longer need the code. It is not done and error checking needs compeleted but I plan to talk more about this and offer a link to the information. I will also post the code. The data is used in a Recon Data Collector and is also paired with a Total Station. We used this device to do layout and datum work.
