how can i export date from autocad (dwg) to excel...help me out guys: pray2:
Moved so you will get more AutoCAD oriented help.
Is the date mult-line text? Give a few more details please. Also what version of Cad and Excel are you using?
i want to export data like dimensions,layername,text to excel..we are using acutocad 2004 and above and excel 2003 and above.

I would prefer Autocad myself, it is easier to manipulate Excel from other apps than it is to manipulate Autocad. IMHO
Is the text MText? do you want both the text and mtext? I assume the dimension text is. How do you determine what to export to Excel? Do you export all of it or ....
After you aquire all of this text, layers, and dimensions where do you want to put them and in what type of format?
What are you trying to do?
The more information you can give the better the information you recieve. :yes
i would like to code from vb.6.then open autocad drawing then export all data to excel.
i need a simple program which export all data of dwg to excel.
regards
sam

if intresed i can share vb.6 code.:bow:
No where in any of your posts have you requested attributes. Just all data.
This is a VBA site not a VB6 site.
But yes I would love to see the code.
well in 2 to 3 day i wll be posting the required code.

wel i am able to read all block attributes in drawring.using vb.6
but i am more intrested in reading all dimesions value. just got stuck here..:dunno
Look for mtext if the dimensions are not associative. Hopefully the dimension text is at least on a "dimension" layer, otherwise the search will be long and hard. Are the drawings in metric or imperial? The Imperial dimensions will be easier to find, otherwise hopefully there will be a designation as in cm/mm. Are you suing a selection set to find the information? Are you just opening the drawing and searching?
dimensison are mtext in my project. also there is seperate layer for dimension .drawminsg are in metric
how to extact all mtext values from dwg.
some sample od vb or vba code will help

I am using volo view express in my vb6 application. Can any one give me code for zoom window using volo view express in vb6.I have code for zoom extends. Please help me.Its urgent
From this point on you will need to post some code to prove to me you are actually know what you are trying to do. You have gone from acad to voloview. from all things in acad to zoom window in volo view. I think you are just ..............
Otherwise search the net.

in my second project i am opening dwg drawing without using autocad.
1)i am using volvo viewer
in this i adotn have code or zoom extent
or
2) with using ddvue.ocx
http://www.opendwg.org/home
This is the only thing that I know of to do what you are wanting to do without autocad. Now if you are wanting to do something with a dxf file I can help on that, somewhat.
thanks for the assistance..
i have already finished my second project with using ddvue.ocx
i still dotnt have code to extract only dimesnions values from dwg drawings.and export to excel.
i want to extract dimesnions without opening autocad drawings.i have around 5000 dwg drawings.
please help me with a goood vb.6 or macro.my knowlede with lisp is nill...: pray2:
I am using volo view express in my vb6 application. Can any one give me code for zoom window using volo view express in vb6.I have code for zoom extends. Please help me.Its urgent
Hi,
Can any one help vba code for autocad.I want to extract only the dimensions from autocad drawing and export to excel.Already I have code to capture block attributes.But i dont want to capture from block attributes.I want to capture from drawing only.Some one help me.Its urgent
The code below will extract all dimensions except radius, and diameter. Per shamsam1's request. BTW VBA is a subset of VB so this should work in VB with little effort.
So far as getting voloview to do a zoom window, you will have to launch spy++ and write to a file and search the file until you find it. Yes it is a long and difficult process. Good Luck.
Code:Sub WriteDimMeasurement()
Dim ssetA As AcadSelectionSet
Dim gpCode(0) As Integer
Dim dataValue(0) As Variant
Dim I As Long
Dim groupCode() As Integer
Dim dataCode As Variant
gpCode(0) = 0
dataValue(0) = "Dimension"
groupCode = gpCode
dataCode = dataValue
Set ssetA = Aset("DimDelete")
ssetA.Select acSelectionSetAll, , , groupCode, dataCode
On Error Resume Next
For I = ssetA.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
If ssetA(I).ExtLine1Linetype >= 0 Then
' check for an extension line -
' a leader radius and diameter does not have an
' extension line so it throws an error
If Err.Number > 0 Then
Err.Clear
Else
' place code to write to excel
Debug.Print ssetA(I).Measurement
End If
End If
Next
On Error GoTo 0
ssetA.Delete
Set ssetA = Nothing
End Sub
hi tommy
i get an erro cannt asssing arry to groupCode
1. groupCode = gpCode
Cant assign array to groupcode
2. Set ssetA = Aset("DimDelete")
Aset not defined
What is datatype of Aset?
also Aset not defined.
guide me regarding this
Hi Tommy,
Thanks for your reply.But while running the code errors are displaying in the following two lines
1. groupCode = gpCode
Cant assign array to groupcode
2. Set ssetA = Aset("DimDelete")
Aset not defined
What is datatype of Aset?
Thanks
Saranya
1. groupCode = gpCode
Cant assign array to groupcode
Try
I don't know why that doesn't work, it works in VB6 and acad 2007 VBACode:Dim groupCode(0) As Integer
groupCode(0) = gpCode (0)
2.
Forgot a function sorry.
Code:Function Aset(iSSetName As String) As AcadSelectionSet
Dim ssetA As AcadSelectionSet
On Error Resume Next
Set ssetA = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add(iSSetName)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set ssetA = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets(iSSetName)
ssetA.Delete
Set ssetA = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add(iSSetName)
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set Aset = ssetA
End Function
Thank you very much Tommy.It works great.
Saranya
