Title: VB.net extract AutoCAD data
Post by: mikeantosh on July 16, 2010, 10:50:39 AM

I would like to be able to extract data from a drawing using VB.net.

I would like to avoid opening AutoCAD and sending commands.  I hope to simply have a standalone VB form that simply connects and gathers data.

I am using VB.net 2008 and AutoCAD 2008.

Can anyone help?

This AU Class on the Data Extraction API might start you in the right direction.

Welcome to theSwamp guys.

Michael, I think the Data Extraction API is only available from AC2009 onwards.
