GetXX : A set of functions that replaces the standard Utility.Get__ functions of the AutoCAD API. The benefits of GetXX are listed below:

• When a user quits an input request you will know how they quit such as Right Click, Enter, ESC, etc... giving you the opportunity to handle the error however you would like.
• Transparent toolbar commands are supported during a call to any GetXX method.
• All Get__ methods accept keyword input except GetEntity and GetSubEntity.
• There is no need to use InitializedUserInput or GetInput, just supply a keyword list, when a keyword is entered it will be returned by the Get__ method you used.

GetXX is available as a DLL and open source format as a Visual Basic (5/6) class module. There are currently 4 versions of GetXX available for AutoCAD and AutoCAD based platforms starting with AutoCAD 2000. Each version is zipped with a help file and a demo VBA module, the open source is included as well (sorry I did not make demo files for "b" versions, I'm assuming you already know how to use them if you are using version "b"). Choose from the following versions depending on your needs:

I recommend new users do not download "b" versions as these are meant only as upgrades for existing users who do not wish to break binary compatability with their current versions.

• GetXX 3.0 for AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, 2002
• GetXX 3.0b for AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, 2002 (does not break compatability from previous versions of GetXX)
• GetXX 3.0 for AutoCAD 2004
• GetXX 3.0b for AutoCAD 2004 (does not break compatability from previous versions of GetXX)
