    Does any one have VB code to take dimensioned AUTOCAD 2002 drawing and export all the dimensions to ACCESS or Excel? Also, can the tolerances on each dimension also be exported?

    I am fairly new to AUTOCAD. Is the VB code proprietary or is it something you can share with me.

    Basically, I have thousands of drawings that I am trying to capture one at a time the different dimensions and tolerances to either Access or Excel.

    Hi,

    When you want something in this NG, you have to ask very specific questions
    for help in helping your self.

    Your first question should have been answered by you doing a web search.
    There are literally thousands of programs available and if you are lucky you
    will find a freeware one which does what you want, or a commercial one which
    may cost you a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, but will save you tens
    of thousands (probably hundreds of thousands compared with doing it
    manually.)

    Nearly all the code you need is available in the AutoCAD VBA help files,
    however, it would need to be assembled into a program to do exactly what you
    want and variations made to suit your specific needs.

    If you are not capable of doing that yourself, then I would advise you to
    rephrase your question and ask for someone here to create the program for
    you as a commercial venture. You will need to write a clear specification
    of what you want as coding projects create pedantic results based on the
    clarity of your specification.

    Lastly with this quantity of data I would definitely aim to put it in a
    database rather than a spreadsheet. You then need to address what
    information you want from the data after to accumulate it into the
    database. - In fact you should address that question first because that may
    influence how you store the data.
