Introduction to VectorScript

VectorScript is the scripting language component of the VectorWorks Fundamentals software package. It is a lightweight programming language which syntactically resembles Pascal, incorporating many of the programming constructs of that language. VectorScript is actually a “superset” of the Pascal language, extending basic Pascal capabilities with a number of APIs (application programming interfaces) which provide access to the features and functionality of the VectorWorks CAD engine.

This guide provides an introduction to using the VectorScript language. The VectorScript Function Reference is a comprehensive command reference available online. It is located in: VWHelp/VectorScript Reference/VSFunctionReference.html

This section provides a brief overview of the VectorScript language; it explains what VectorScript can do and what it can't, and provides information on features new to this version of the language.
