Topic: Autofill a third party dialog

[Coder]

Hello everyone.

Recently our company has a third party attached or linked to my AutoCAD program, and one of the commands has a big dialog with many cells to fill out which is a very tedious work.

So is there a way to fill the dialog out from a text file or csv or even Excel automatically with AutoLISP ?

The command that has that big dialog can be invoked as any autoCAD command.

Hope someone can help me with this important task.

Thank you.

You do not need to post it, but do you have the source code for the 3rd party addon?

Thank you for your kind reply.

Unfortunately no I don't have and its not necessarily a lisp program but it could be a .NET programming languages but it still a guess to me and I am not sure.

You could try using an AutoHotkey script.

Thank you Lee for your kind reply.

Is it something that I can use with AutoLISP or a separate script file process?
Can you please clarify it more?

No, this is nothing to do with AutoLISP or AutoCAD - Google is your friend.

Would a Windows "Form Filler" software work for that?
