    Hi, all

    I am currently doing on a huge 3D model files for tensioned membrane
    project. I need to capture all the cable length, (there will be thousand of
    them) and tabulate them in excel or word. Anyone who know how should i do
    for shortcut? ie. getting the length of a line and either put a table in
    autocad or export to csv file...

    Thanks

    Collin

    One way would be to use VBA (either directly from within AutoCAD or, using
    (OLE) Automation, from within Word/Excel), selecting all the relevant lines
    (=cables) and then iterating through the SelectionSet.

    HiHo;
    Go to www.cadalyst.com and search "get the code".
    In particular look at Feb99 for a program that totals all lines.
    In particular look at No99 for a program that writes the lines to a xy file.
    In particular look at Apr00 and Dec02.
