Thanks. could you please provide us the video regarding the automation of drawing symbol with attributed excel description: for example in excel description tree : we can automatically see trees on the drawing based on the imported pointdata.
I am looking for a method to automate repetitive tasks in AutoCAD. Specifically, I would like to use a script or Dynamo to automate drawing tasks based on survey point descriptions from an Excel file. For example, I want the software to automatically draw a line between points A and B when the description indicates "edge of pavement," rather than manually drawing each line one by one. Additionally, if a survey point is labeled as a traffic light, I would like the script to automatically place a traffic light symbol at the specified locations in the drawing. Do you have any suggestions or resources that could help with this? Best regards,
@rezatalakoobi8029 gotcha! Off the top of my head, I don't know how to do this in plain AutoCAD. Mainly because Civil 3D does this natively, so I've never needed regular AutoCAD to do this. It should be quite possible, in fact I'm working on a different video to do something very similar using astronomy data (gotta have some reason for light years to exist in AutoCAD!) It will be part of my LISP series, so keep an eye out for it! And let me know if another video explaining how to use Civil 3D to do this would also be helpful.
Great video ! Thanks I would like to watch a video where I can count openings in 2D and at the same time when I click on the opening, I can leave a number there. Like, first opening a leave a 1 next to it, second one I click and leave a 2 and so on…

Generally, Civil 3D is used for this. In regular AutoCAD you would need to use a LISP routine. Which method would you like a video about?

Can you please make an video on layers
Sure! Anything in particular that you'd like to know about them?
Great video ! Thanks
