alex5908 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi there, I am a translator. I want to count words in a drawing and charge a customer according to the number of words. I do not know anything about macros so this option will not suit me. I tried dxf2text but the program reads: Dfx2text is not recognized as an internal or external command. Are there any other simple ways to count words in a drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 To learn to use AutoLisp it will take you 10-15minutes. Next you could use a Lisp routine we have in the AutoLisp section to export all the texts from a drawing in a txt file. Open that file in Word and count the words. In 5 minutes it should be donne. You may start from here:http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?1390-How-to-use-the-LISP-routines-in-this-archive Welcome in the forum!

alex5908 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I put lisp files to setuipres but when I enetered WORDS the Cad reads Unknown command. Where exactly shall I copy list files in Autocad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
