Dave B Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I actually have two questions, but one may have been answered. In a machine shop environment, the current practice is for an admin person to review the drawing, then take down all dimensions and enter them manually into Excel. Is there an easier way to export data to Excel so that I can have the dimension reports rather than doing them manually. The second question is on the ability to save the document as a .pdf, although I think this is possible. Thanks Dave Quote
ReMark Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Have you looked into custom lisp routines to handle this task? Quote
SLW210 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 To create a PDF, just plot to the DWG to PDF.pc3 or a third party PDF plotter of your choosing. Here is a thread with some code in it DIMENSIONS TO EXCEL. Another here Export of Dimensions into Excel Here is Fixo's code revision on Autodesk community Dimension export routine modification Quote
Dave B Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 I am so new to all this, I just found out what lisp is, and there is a link in the other thread to do it in VB and one in lisp. Thanks Quote
