Email and AutoCad Commands
« on: January 28, 2016, 08:23:49 AM »
Is it possible to send an email with AutoCAD (Lisp / Macros) that you could click from the email and it would activate in their current session of CAD? I know this sounds crazy.

sure, as long as they have autocad, and their file associativity in windows isn't fubbed up

if you are talking about clicking on email attachment, it should work....let me test here and report

interesting idea, however...

IF  you are trying to do cad by remote control for someone like that


should they really be using cad?

Then, I guess that's all I need to do.  I have some users that I have a menu I have made for them, but I have some non CAD heavy duty users where I could email them some of these commands and just have then copy and paste them to the command line. I guess that's still not a bad idea.

Wouldn't a remote desktop app make more sense then?

AutoCAD 2015 and up can host HTML pages, wpf , and other type of documents so for example you could use AutoCAD javascript API to interact with AutoCADS through webpage or email

We use a training software here that allows you to create a workflow and in the workflow you can assign AutoCAD commands to a particular word or phrase. Once the command is assigned, the selected word or phrase will then "hyperlink" to AutoCAD, either to open the program or run a particular command in the software.

Long story longer....

Like others have said, it's definitely possible.
