To help people who don't master English with their efforts to migrate their code from VBA to VB.NET, my team has been busy translating our existing AutoCAD VBA to VB.NET Migration Basics DevTV session into other languages.

We've had a few reports from people implementing external .NET applications to drive AutoCAD – as shown in this previous post – experiencing intermittent failures once AutoCAD 2010 Update 1 has been applied.
