AutoCAD .NET :: Extracting Data From A DWG File?

Sep 19, 2011

I have been asked to write utility that will open a DWG file, retrieve layer data from the file and put it into a spreadsheet.

I know nothing about AutoCAD but I have been reading on this forum and gathering information. I have found that I have to write a dll that will be used inside of AutoCAD. Here is what I have so far:

1. I have AutoCAD 2008 (will convert to 2011 or 2012 later)

2. I have .NET Framework 4.0

3. I have Visual Studio 2010 Express

4. Needs to be done using VB.NET.

I need to do this using .NET.

Do I need the 2008 API?

Could this be done easier using VBA?

Once I create the dll how do I use it inside AutoCAD?

How do I grab the layer data for studs and braces?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Extracting Data From Excel File?

Jun 12, 2013

We have a custom LISP program (Written, upadated in 2003) that takes a keyed in item number, opens and searches a .txt file with four coulmns, for the keyed in item number (column 1) and returns a part number (column 2), description (column 3) and any information in column 4.

Here is the Part of the cod in question:

(setq recx (open "H:/ACAD2012/alcocustm/LISP/hardware.txt" "r"))
(setq d "?")
(setq rec (read-line recx))

[Code]....

A quetsion was asked if the data in the .txt file could be put in an Excel file. I tried looking at other post, but I can't seem to find a clear cut way to open and extract the data. Or this old dog overlooked a boand. Is there a easy way to do this, similar to the above?

Illustrator Scripting :: Extracting Data From Excel To JavaScript Or Vbscript

Mar 16, 2012

I was wondering if there was a way to extract data from Excel to be used in Illustrator. I know there is an option of variables and xml, and I don't want that. I've seen and tried out how to read illustrator and write to excel, and I get that.  What I would like to do is pretty much the opposite:
 
1.Pre-fill in an Excel file(.xls,.csv, doesn't matter) with data such as a filename in column 1 and (Replacement Text) in column 2 and close manually.

2. Run script(VBSCRIPT,Javascript, doesn't matter)

3.For each column in Excel file where cell in first column is not empty, open Illustrator Template with placeholder of "DWG" textframe and replace the frame titled "DWG" with Replacement text from Excel in Column2.

4, Save each to a PDF file and name file with text from Excel Column1(Filename)
 
In a nutshell, there will be a single illustrator template with a premade textFrame with a name of "DWG". Excel will contain two columns, one for the filename to be named and one for the relative text to replace with the placeholder in AI.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Import Point Data With Object Data?

Jan 20, 2011

how to import point data that has Map Object Data also attached to it? "import it by attaching to a data source".

Example: I have a bunch of manholes. Each MH has X,Y,Z, but also Type, Invert Elevs., Pipe Sizes, Pipe Materials, Pipe Directions, Structure Type/Material, etc. etc. etc. I may have point data representing MH's, airport runway ends, trees, anything you can imagine, with all kinds of data imaginable. 

I want to import this data directly into Autocad/Civil 3D as either Autocad points, lines, or closed polylines (I also have utility lines, parking lots, etc.- all with data associated with it), all with the data attached as object data. I know that anything more complex than points might be hard to explain here, so I am hoping at least for a solution on how to import points - I have 99,999 MH's and obviously I don't want to have to type all that data in one by one.

I basically suck at using sql server. I can get around using the Map workspace and the different tabs. I have never used FDO, and I am not even sure what it is.

I fooled it today by creating 99,999 Autocad points at the correct XYZ, attaching the correct object data to them, then exporting as a shp file. I went into the shp_name.dbf file and edited it to add the data I wanted by cutting & pasting from Excel. then I re-imported the shp file. but, this is a workaround at best.

Surely Map can import objects and their associated data fields, all populated with valid data! all I need is to know how to do it. I mean, if this is not something I can do directly using Map commands should I take the money I earned by surveying 99,999 MH's with my GIS data collector that allows me to assign 101data fields to each object I survey, and buy something better?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Transfer Link Data To Object Data?

Mar 28, 2013

I have a drawing with Objects that have both Object Data and Linked data in an Access database. I need to get information from the linked table to a new linked table for each object.

I have thought that if I get the necessary information from the Linked table record to the object data for each object, I could then convert the Object data to a new link and am looking for a way to copy the data from a field in the Linked Table to the object data.  There is at least one field common to both the OD and Linked Table record.

Is there any automated way to transfer this data?

AutoCad :: Object Data To Attribute Data To Perfection?

Oct 15, 2010

I'm working in AutoCAD Map 3D 2008 and Autocad Civil 3D 2009.

The General Task:I want to convert the object data to attribute data so that I can export it to an Excel file, add another column of data, and then import that new data as attribute data.

The Specific Task:I have thousands of campus water meter locations (a block with a small icon, attribute data, and object data) that belong to two different systems, domestic water and lake water. Each of these blocks has object data item (a barcode tag) that I want to show as a label next to the block.

However, before I do that, I want to export that barcode data to an excel file so I add a column (eventually a new piece of attribute data) that says whether or not that specific water meter is radio read or manually read. I want to then import that radio read/manual read excel file back into autocad and have an X appear on the block icon if it is radio read. I also want the barcode information to show up as a label.

My problem:I can't get the barcode object data to export with the locations in one easy excel sheet that I can simply import after I have made my changes.

Find some person on here who knows how to convert object data to attribute data.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Stack With SVG Data Object In Object Manager

Apr 3, 2013

There is problem with my CorelDRAW X6.

After I import different files in my working file, it's getting hard to work- RAM(16GB) is getting completely full and its almost unworkable!
I checked out Object Manager and found stack with "SVG data" and "Locked SVG data" object there under some basic shapes.

Stack is about from 10000 to 100000... Some times even more, but its not possible to select all them because Corel just stops. What is that-  "SVG data" and "Locked SVG data" object and why they are so many there?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Name Polylines With Object Data

Jun 9, 2011

We need to take polylines from AutoCAD Map 3D to 3ds Max and rename each polyline to have a name of something like "Building Number-Room Number", both of which are defined in our properties for each polyline. Because none of this data is kept on import to Max, we need to do this all in Map 3D, which we are not experienced with. Is there a way to do this, and if so what? We are importing the .dwg files in Max with polylines as splines.

AutoCad 3D :: Extract Data From 3D Object

May 27, 2011

is there any way to use data extraction and get the dimensions of the solid. Using dynamic blocks on 3d solid is not an option as far as i know. I tried using block with attributes and field which refer to a dimension line but it's too complicated and takes far more time than just check them by hand.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Combine Object Data Tables?

Jun 12, 2013

A large combined file in our GIS format corrupted. I dug out all the old files that were originally used to create it but they are too old and will not combine in the GIS.

I exported each one to SHP, and then imported all of them into civil 3d as shp files, creating object data. This meant that I could correct the corrupted sections, which I have done, but now I need to get it back into the GIS program with the object data intact.

The problem is that the object data, coming from several combined files, is in several tables. Each table contains the same identical fields. (eg every table has a field called drawing)

I need to combine those tables so that I can re-export the shape files. I need one table with all of the object data in it.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Displaying Object Data In The Drawing?

Dec 14, 2001

I have a AutoCAD MAP drawing with the pipe size assigned as object data to various lines in the drawing.

Is it possible to display the pipe sizes as a text entity parallel to the line? How would I go about doing this. First prize would be if the value of the text changed whenever the object data is changed.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Select By Object Data?

May 22, 2013

We have a perenial problem with our old GIS software where files corrupt and drawing objects are lost.

There are few export options available, but export to shape is one of them. This means that I can export a damaged file and then import it into CAD with the layers intact and the tagged numbers (similar to object data or a block attribute in CAD) imported as object data. In order to make a new uncorrupted version for the GIS program.

Is there a way to select objects by object data?

If a file is corrupted, the only real way to repair it at the moment is to go back to the original cad drawing and reimport and then retag every single tagged attribute on what can be thousands of drawing objects, and by then we may no longer have the handdrawn data to even do that.

The next workaround is if I creat new dwgs from the cad drawing, Each one containing the objects with the same object data, and each saved with a file name that matches that object data, and then reimport into the GIS. (it can use the filename as a tag). This creates a new GIS file with the surviving information that should not lose any more data and we may be able to patch the 'holes' afterwards.

The problem is selecting all the polylines in the cad drawing that have that same tagged number in the object data. Select similar just goes on object type and layer. This would be easier if I could select by object data and get everything with the same tag in one go.

A way to batch create the new dwgs from that selected data would be nice too.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Unable To View Object Data

May 28, 2013

This is an AutoCAD 2011 related question about being unable to see under properties objects that I have attached to polylines in AutoCAD Map3D.

I have created an map3d .dwg that the polylines and points have attributes attached (objects). However, when I access the same file in plain AutoCAD nothing appears under properties.

Is is a format, import settings tweak or simply it can not be done?
