I've seen different answers to this question depending on where I was looking...

The developper reference says no: http://www.bricsys.com/bricscad/help/en_US/V11/DevRef/index.html

The online help says yes: http://www.bricsys.com/bricscad/help/en_US/V11/Bricscad/source/Installation_platforms_and_levels.htm

So what is the real answer? :)

Thanks !

    Thank you. This is a good example of the condition that the Bricscad documentation is in.

    I like Bricscad, but the documentation is crap and that is one of the saddest points about it.

    There is a bullet marker missing in the developer reference: the COM API is included with a Classic version. We apologize.

    To avoid misunderstanding: the VBA Integrated Development Environment is NOT included in the Classic version. So it is not possible to run .dvb code, but it _is_ possible to run e.g. a compiled Visual Basic program that uses the Bricscad COM API.

    Hope this takes away any doubts that may have been left.

    OK, we want to use the COM interface with some C#.  Looks like it will work just fine with the Classic version then !

    Thanks a lot
