What programming language to use?

[cwhitaker]

I am suppose to start working on an autmated drawing system to create our wiring diagrams for us. I was wondering what programming lanuage (vlisp or vba) would work better for a task like this? Any ideas or comments? Thanks

One way of looking at it....

If you need a lot of user input, i.e.: dialogs, etc., then you have to consider VBA since the GUI is easier to create and maintain.

However, if the majority of your code is creating drawing objects and doing calculations, then lisp may be the answer.

It's difficult to say without knowing more about your project.

Look at the sticky at the top of this forum. It has a good, in-depth discussion about benefits of various programming languages.
