How to use the VBA Objects

Call CST STUDIO SUITE from within an external application

The following example code can be entered in the VBA interpreter of an external application like spread sheet or word processor. It creates a CST STUDIO SUITE application object, opens a project and creates a brick:

Sub Main()

Dim studio As Object

'Starts CST MPHYSIC STUDIO

Set studio = CreateObject("CSTStudio.Application")

Dim proj As Object

Set proj = studio.NewMPS

Dim brick As Object

Set brick = proj.brick

brick.Reset

brick.Name "BrickOne"

brick.Xrange "0", "1"

brick.Yrange "0", "2"

brick.Zrange "0", "4"

brick.Create

proj.SaveAs "C:\temp\test.cst", False

proj.Quit

Set studio = Nothing

End Sub

Open a project within the built-in VBA interpreter

This example opens a project from the VBA interpreter of CST MPHYSIC STUDIO:

OpenFile("c:\Examples\thebrick.cst")

With Brick

.Reset

.Name "BrickOne"

.Layer "default"

.Xrange "0", "1"

.Yrange "0", "2"

.Zrange "0", "4"

.Create

End With
