Excel diagram to Autocad query

[feargt]

Hi,

 

I have the following query. I have been the task of finding out what possibilities exist and how much effort would be involved to do the following.

 

From an excel table where the user inputs several paramaters a diagram of a section through a tunnel is created (See screenschot attached)

 

What would be involved and how much effort would be required to get this resulting diagram reproduced/redrawn in Autocad and I don't mean as an OLE object.

 

Or would another approach be better in the sense of a completely new program just using VB or lisp. How complicated would this task be?

 

Thanks

if you have a table of co-ordinates, you could "save as" from excel to a CSV file and import these into Autocad as a polyline. I think there are a few routines around to do this.
