Hello
i tried to make cut through a cylinder but when i run the code from API SW VSTA VB Macro it stop and gives me an error with cut feature
here is the code

The macro is clearly recorded my the macro recorder. You could remove 80% of it and it would do the same, minus the zooming. I suggest you do that to make it more readable.
What should the code do? Switch from a drawing to a part, extrude a donut and add an extuded cut to it? What's the error?
I removed all of the zooming actions and ran it without problems. Ran it once again with your code and also runs flawless. Here's the cleaned-up version, although you can still get rid of a lot more probably:
