Exporting To Autocad
Hi,
I have some data in Excel that I want to export to AutoCAD using VBA Code in Excel. But Idon't want to have a table inserted in AutoCAD, but polylines and multitext.Is it possible?
If someone could give me an example, how to draw simple polyline and insert mtext inAutoCAD (from Excel VBA Code) I should be able do do the rest.
Thanks in advance,Paul
PS. I think that it would be required to specify insertion point, wouldn't it?

Re: Exporting To Autocad
Maybe there is a better and faster way, but I think you should try writing a routine in AUTOLISP. Last time I use it was 10 yrs ago ( AutoCad 10 ? ),so I don't know if I can help you codewise. I will check at home if I still have some AUTOLISP book left.

Re: Exporting To Autocad
Just out of curiosity...
What is it you need autocad to do that you can't do with Excel.
...or is Excel just a launching point for a much larger autocad task?

Re: Exporting To Autocad
Hi,
thanks for answers.
I made automated parts specification in Excel.I would like to have an "Export to AutoCAD" button, that would paste this specification to ACAD drawing, so I wouldn't have to type it manually.
I know that it's possible to write it in LISP and run from AutoCAD, but I want to run my macro in Excel. My table must consist of polylines and text so I can't just paste it as table.

Re: Exporting To Autocad
keekoo,
Sorry for the delay. I had never worked with MText in VBA before. Also the Playoffs are on, so not a lot of free time.
Anyways, add this code to a new module in your worksheet. Be sure to add a reference to whichever version of Autocad you're using. If you haveany problems or questions, let me know.
