Hello Everyone, I was wondering where i might find some information on connecting an Excel Database to Autocad, so that i may use Data typed into the database as Coordinates placed into autocad. I work at a Geotechnical firm and we deal alot with placing block symbols into certain points in autocad. Any help will be very much appriciated.
Thanks, Dan s.
I haven't done it with lisp, but I think
It's fairly simple with VBA, FWIW.
Dan, Have you looked into dbConnect. In AutoCad 2000 and 2002 it is under the tools menu. It works with Excel and Access. You can attach data from your spread sheet to blocks. It can be a little buggy but it is worth checking out.

You can create script files directly from Excel, take a look at this procedure.
Thought it was just my crappy connection. The site is worth the wait, though. There is some really good info, there.
I think the page owner(s) are regulars in Adesk's VBA NG.
Tried it,,,, really slow site. I've got a dsl connection and still waited.... Someone needs to mention to this person to reduce the resolution of the graphics....
I'd like to thank everyone for the help!!! Sincerly, Daniel s.
