API Integrating Excel to AutoCad

Post by benedictbrown »

Hello,

DO we have an API for Integrating Excel to AutoCad? AutoCAD has drawing symbols and text identifiers associated with these symbols.

Thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

You can install VBA support in AutoCAD - see Download the Microsoft VBA Module for AutoCAD
Best wishes,
Hans

Hello Hans,
What features does this VBA module have?
Does it import the symbols drawn in Autocad into excel? or does it reproduce the Autocad drawing into Excel?
I am very keen to know more about this API

Thanks a lot
Best regards
Vilas Desai

I'm sorry, I don't use AutoCAD and I don't know anything about its implementation of VBA.
Best wishes,
Hans

I am pretty sure that the VBA module for Autocad lets you automate Autocad. I guess you could use any other VBA module (for example one running in Excel) to automate this, but it isn't really an Excel integration.
