Wow, I'm so glad to hear that this resonated with you! 😊 For those who've tried this integration or are thinking about it, what other innovative ways can you envision using AutoCAD with Python?

I just got him/her to do at least 3 things that have been pestering me but I don’t ask anyone all I usually get back is “why would you want to do that?” This will be Excellent for music, like, really really excellent. Recording large sessions has hundreds and hundreds of little tasks to do that to be honest, almost anyone could do them with a bit of learning but man, this is on a whole other level. I just wrote a thing that I used to have working in excel into Python to batch create drawings in 20 MINUTES! Hahahahahah 😂

Pyautocad works on active drawings. EZDXF library is your choice for extracting the data without using AutoCAD. Next video will be covering the ezdxf library

True, I had challenges too, I use ChatGPT quite often nowadays. Also searching online. There are some information in pypi and GitHub …

@@ahmedskullab I See... Do you perhaps have a personal selection of commands which you could share?

مشكور حبيبي على مرورك ، ولا يهمك، الفكرة حلوة بس بدها شوية وقت

@@ahmedskullab تسلم يا باش مهندس.. بالانتظار

أهلا وسهلا شكرا للتعليقـ، أكيد من الممكن تعمل واجهة للمستخدم وتعمل برامج خاصة بك، التعمال مع الكود مباشرة فيه ميزة المرونة لذلك افضل التعمال مع الكود مباشرة في البداية للتعلم وللتمكن من عمل التغييرات بسهولةـ لما تصل لمرحلة التغيير في الرسومات قليل ممكن تعمل واجهة ونموذج خاص بك.

I have not tried it with Civil 3d before! it might work. PyAutoCAD is a Python library designed to interact with AutoCAD via its COM API. to automate tasks in Civil 3D using Python, you might need to explore other Python libraries such as use of .NET API

@@ahmedskullab Yes it works with civil3d, however I believe it only works with autocad objects. So it worn't with pipe networks, surfaces, etc.... I am just getting started but I believe that this is accurate.

Surely you could just load this pyautocad lib into a civil 3d DYNAMO “user” node (can’t remember the correct term for the custom python nodes) and doing it is this way you most likely could automate most of the first manual starting steps shown in the video with the csv import/export nodes in the default dynamo libraries or just selecting the data properties directly in the dynamo script without having to leave civil 3d. Haven’t played around with it too much, and there is way more tuts YT for revit dynamo python node creation but principles are exactly the same.

Hey, there is a way to save the drawing as block using InsertBlock function, not sure if this is what you meant?

All drawings are vector? Unless do you want to bring it in to illustrator or maya etc?

Yes it is possible!

The code is scale it down by 12.

@@donnygarnett6543 thank you

consider using AutoLISP

@@ahmedskullab consider using LEE-Mac's autolisp library. Also, if it's a dynamic block within a dynamic block, you'd need some fancy ssget/entget function that would separate each blocks. Source: I have my own autocad/autolisp library.

I appreciate your honesty. I'll take your comments into consideration.

That's true, ezdxf has this better advantage. I will cover it in another video.

@@ahmedskullab kindly make a little big automation beyond line , circle, rectangle, layers

Ok, thanks
