Lines from Rhino to Autocad

[sailor]

Hi Friends,

I would like to import the lines according to 0,0,0 coordinate from Rhino to Autocad automatically. This program must be open the Autocad drawing after importing the lines. How I can success this? I know that Rhino is a opensource program, which language uses Rhino to edit it?

Thanks

No, Rhino is not OpenSource. The file format is opensource not the application.

Hi sailor...

If you just do a "save as" and select Autocad dwg format it will import into Autocad where it was created in Rhino.
So, 0,0,0 in Rhino is the same in Autocad.

Hi TedKyte,

Well I'm not really sure what you want, but if you just put the word "Insert" on a button it will pop up the dialog bog to select the file you want to insert.

You can put this in a button:

!
-insert
F
C:\test.3dm
O
enter
0,0,0
1
0

change the "C:\test.3dm" to whateve file you want to insert.

Actually my question was, like activeX controls between autocad and Microsoft Application Excell, could we succes to change data between Rhino and Autocad? Is there a possibility to talk to Autocad from Rhino? Thanks

Hi Friends, I succeeded to export curves by VB scripting as .dwg files, but I havent opened that file that I made. I send you the codes that I wrote, please advance it together

------------------------------------------------

Sub SetPoints ()
Dim strcurveID
Dim mobjAutocad
Dim ThisDrawing

Rhino.unselectAllObjects ()
strcurveID = Rhino.GetObject("select a planar curve")

If Not Rhino.iscurve(strcurveID) Then
Rhino.Print (" you didnt select a curve!")
Exit Sub
End If


If Rhino.IsCurvePlanar(strcurveID) Then

If Not Rhino.isCurveClosed(strcurveID) Then
Rhino.CloseCurve(strcurveID)
Rhino.Print ("the curve you selected has been closed")

End If

Rhino.command ("_setpt 0,0,0")
Rhino.print ("the curve has been Transformed")
Rhino.SelectObject strcurveID
Rhino.command ("_Export deneme.dwg")
Rhino.print ("the curve has been exported")
Else
Rhino.print ("the curve you picked was Not planar")
End If


End Sub
