API for AutoCAD

Post by vilas desai »

Hello Experts

DO we have an API for Integrating Excel to AutoCad? AutoCAD has drawing symbols and text identifiers associated with these symbols. So the API should pick these symbols and their associated text identifiers and place them in Rows

Thanks and regards

You might wait to see if someone has a suggestion, but I fear we don't have many AutoCAD experts in Eileen's Lounge. You may have better luck on AutoDesk's AutoCAD Forum.
Best wishes,
Hans

I believe autocad is a VBA client. You should be able to open VBA and use the object browser.

Unfortunately I do not have autocad installed. As Hans said.... I suggest you try the link Hans gave you... https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad/ct-p/8

Off the top of my head.... try opening autocad and pressing Alt F11. It's possible that that may open the VBA editor. If autocad uses the ribbon then there should be a developer tab you can use to do the same thing.
