AutoCad Customization

[pgsoman]

Hello!,

 

I have written a VB 6.0 program to open AutoCad application & a new drawing.

I have a AutoLisp / visualLisp routine already written for drawing generation.

 

I want to know the VB 6.0 code to run the AutoLisp / visualLisp routine in AutoCad to generate the drawing. Can anyone help?

 

Regards,

Why not instead use a customized Application Icon, that specified the desired template in the Target Property, and simple use the script switch to insert a block?

 

Sample Application Icon Target Property:

 

"d:\AutoCAD 2007\acad.exe" /t "[color=red]<filePath>[/color]\template\[color=red]<tempateName>[/color].dwt" /b "[color=red]<filePath>[/color]\[color=red]<scriptFileName>[/color].scr" 

 

 

Edit to add - You could even include the desired block within the template and avoid the need for a script altogether too.

Hello!,

 

We are manufacturing products which are parametric in nature. The design rules remain same & they are scalable. I am developing the VB 6.0 program for use of design engineers in our office.

I want to save the AutoLisp & Excel program on server & distribute the VB 6.0 to the users.

Users will enter input design parameters which will be passed in excel, where the design rules will be applied & the dimensions required for drawing will be calculated & stored in .csv format.

The AutoLisp program will refer the .csv file & will generate the required drawing, which can be directly in pdf format on user's screen.

The excel, autocad & AutoLisp will run in background & thus will be secured.

The excel program, .csv files & AutoLisp programs are ready & can be operated through VB 6.0. Now I am stuck up at the last stage where I need to start the AutoLisp program through VB 6.0

Having completed nearly complete jon looking forward to get the solution to run AutoLisp through VB 6.0

Prakash
