text file to drawing

is this possible that, if i run my text file in AutoCAD which i
generated in AutoCAD in some format, results in a drawing of structure
from which the text file is generated.
if yes than how i can do it?....i have no idea what to do for this.

thanks

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. Are you talking about a dxf
file? If so, I still don't understand what you want to do with it.

 

i have "file.txt" file which contains some different data of drawing(some frame structure) and mow i want that when i put this txt file in autocad than it results in the same drawing(frame structure) from which the text file is generated.

thanks

What kind of data does this file contain?

i am posting my text file which is generated from a frame structure in autocad by using VBA programming..

now i want this to put in autocad again so that it results in the same frame structure., how i can do it by using VBA in autocad.

thanks

Hi,

If using this data (and only this data) you can draw what you want in
AutoCAD, then you can write a program to do it.

You would need to provide the programmer with an annotated drawing showing
where each item in the drawing derived from the data file.

nsdhakar,
The frame was originally drawn in AutoCAD and exported to the text file,
correct?

How were the non-graphical items (loads, constraints) stored in the AutoCAD
file?

Do you need your VBA program to create anything other than the key points
and lines? This would be difficult.

oops.... I meant to say this would NOT be difficult.
