LibreCAD does not support VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) directly, as it is typically used with applications like Microsoft Excel or AutoCAD. LibreCAD, being an open-source 2D CAD application, uses a plugin system and scripting interface that supports C++, Python, and Lua scripting.

However, if you want to automate some tasks or create macros for LibreCAD, you can use **LibreCAD’s command line interface** or **QtScript** (based on JavaScript). Here’s a general approach to get started with scripting in LibreCAD:

### Steps for Scripting in LibreCAD:
1. **Open LibreCAD.**
2. **Go to Tool > Scripts.**
3. Choose to create a new script or edit an existing one.
4. Use the QtScript (JavaScript-like syntax) to automate tasks.

### Example: Simple Script to Draw a Rectangle
Below is a basic example of a script that draws a rectangle in LibreCAD:

javascript

// Begin a new drawing

var doc = this.getDocument();

var di = this.getDocumentInterface();



// Set the initial position for the rectangle

var pt1 = new RVector(0, 0); // Bottom-left corner

var pt2 = new RVector(100, 0); // Bottom-right corner

var pt3 = new RVector(100, 50); // Top-right corner

var pt4 = new RVector(0, 50); // Top-left corner



// Draw the four lines of the rectangle

di.addLine(pt1, pt2);

di.addLine(pt2, pt3);

di.addLine(pt3, pt4);

di.addLine(pt4, pt1);



// Refresh the view to show the rectangle

di.repaintViews();

### Running the Script:
1. Save the script as a .js file in LibreCAD’s script directory.
2. Open LibreCAD and navigate to Tool > Scripts > Run Script.
3. Select your script, and LibreCAD will execute the commands, drawing the rectangle on the canvas.

### Further Customization
If you have more complex requirements, such as creating shapes or patterns based on mathematical formulas or automating drawing templates, you can explore the QtScript API and leverage functions for entity creation, layer management, and other drawing commands.

For more advanced automation, consider integrating Python or C++ with LibreCAD through its plugin system, as that allows for more robust control and interaction with the LibreCAD environment.
