We do not support Internet Explorer since it does not support web standards well or webgl.. doing automation that way would also not be very reliable since it would not be using APIs. We are thinking about ways to give users automation features. Stay tuned..Lou Gallo / PD/UX - Support - Community / Onshape, Inc.5

I want to be able to do exactly what they do in the first video.
I have a large VBA and want to be able to activate that and from that i get values.
Them values(variables) is then to be used to automatic create 2D and 3D CAD drawings.
I can do this in AutoCad and SolidWorks.
But I would really lite to do it in your Onshape CAD system.
If you need help get back to me.
Maybe I can help you.
