About AutoCAD Automation Tools
Multiple drawings can be automatically created from a typical drawing or updated based on a control file that can be created with an Excel template. Make the changes in Excel and let the program do all the work for you. This is a real time saver if you need to make justifications on hundreds or thousands of drawings.
Optionally an AutoLISP file (*.lsp;*.vlx;*.fas) can be loaded for each drawing.
AutoGen
AutoGen creates new drawings based on one or more template drawings based on the control file. In the process text, mtext and block attribute values can be changed individually on each new drawing.
It is possible to change only a part of the text string. If the template drawing contain the text “SHEET #sheetno#” it can be updated to for example “SHEET 1” by specifying #sheetno# as the text to change.
Depending on your computer performance and the complexity of the drawing you can generate around 100 drawings in just 60 seconds.
