Matej Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Hello everybody, I am working on a large project, so my .dwg file contains about 10 k polylines/water pipes. Each polyline/pipe has unique ID number written as a text in a circle. Each ID number is placed exactly on polyline/pipe. Also I have external database where I can, based on ID number, look up informations about specific pipe (informations such as material, profile, year of construction etc.) Problem is that whenever I need some informations I have to manually find that pipe in .txt file. I need those external informations to be placed in AutoCAD as Object Data table. I have created OD table. So idea is to make LISP that: when I select polyline/pipe, LISP looks up ID number, goes to external data base (.txt), finds informations about that pipe, transfers and sorts those informations in OD table (for selected pipe/pipes). I would be so happy if someone could help me. I am buying beer Additional information: I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 external database .txt is tab delimited file I have already attached OD Table to polylines/pipes.
