    Multiple Pages Print Based on Sub Rpeort

    1. I'm not doing this by code. It was all done using the tools and wizards in Access. 2."base of the report" - Simply meaning at the end of the report. It's a single page report (supposed to be) and there was white space at the end of the page. 3.The information is text in the document, yes...

    Hi Todd, Just tried to make use of that code but it says that the AcadApplication and AcadDocument variables are "user defined types not defined." Any ideas? Thanks, Tom.

    Using Excel Data in AutoCAD 2002

    Hi Todd, Have been beavering away on this project for the last day or so and thought that we had it cracked. We came across a program in Lisp that does what we want it to do. On a slightly different note, do you know if it is possible to link VB to AutoCAD? That is to say, actual VB and...

    Using Excel Data in AutoCAD 2002

    Hi Todd, I took your advice and combined it with some google searching and personal thoughts. What transpired was 6 pages of code from Google Groups...in French. Dim, Public and Private are the same across the globe apparently :) In all seriousness, we have managed to find a program...

    Using Excel Data in AutoCAD 2002

    Hi Todd, To be honest, it's kind of the same project although my boss has done a beastly amount of work on it. This is one of the final parts to it I think. Thanks for the stuff on the Mtext. One thing I have trouble getting my head around is how to distinguish between different Mtext objects as...

    Using Excel Data in AutoCAD 2002

    Hi Todd, Don't know if you remember but I talked to you about another problem in AutoCAD a couple of weeks ago. It related to Access...I was from Scotland and you were 1 million hours behind in Detroit. Anywho, that's by the by. Thanks for the reply again. I'm going to try the code from...

    Using Excel Data in AutoCAD 2002

    Hi, I'm a newbie to AutoCAD and have been given a job to do for work. Basically, we have an Excel table which is full of information about automation cabinets and pumps and devices. It is the intention of my boss to take this information from Excel and put it into AutoCAD but this is, as far...

    Linking Windows CE To A PC

    Hi, Firstly, please be patient. Whilst I work in I.T. I've never worked with Windows CE. At work we have a Siemens Touch Screen Panel. This has it's own drive space and is basically a unit on it's own with Windows CE installed. I'm going to have to develop software in VB for this and I'm...

    Auto-Generating Drawings From MS Access

    Hi Todd, I checked with my boss and here are the answers that he gave to your questions. 1. Drawings on their own, hopefully generated from a single template. 2.No. 3.The devices are instrumentation devices and not AutoCAD devices and are just part of the drawing. 4.Not applicable. 5. As...

    Auto-Generating Drawings From MS Access

    Hi Guys, I spoke to my boss after lunch and this is the description he has given me of our problem. Again, any help would be great. "We have a list of standard instrumentation drawings which are repeated several hundred times but with different labels attached to different devices shown on the...

    Auto-Generating Drawings From MS Access

    Hey Todd, Thanks again. I'm going to speak to my boss after lunch a bit more about this. (I say lunch seeing as I'm in Scotland and it's mid-day here). I'm not entirely, 100% sure what is happening with this project or what he needs but I'm sure he'll give me a more specific idea and I can get...

    Auto-Generating Drawings From MS Access

    Hey borgunit, Thanks for your reply. So it is possible to have plot points, etc in an Access 200 DB, run AutoCAD and then use such information to auto-generate a drawing based on it? And AutoCAD will just pull the information it needs from the DB? I'll apologize if I sound like a dumb-truck...

    Auto-Generating Drawings From MS Access

    Hi TCARPENTER, First of all, thanks very much for replying. Secondly, is it a relatively simple process? I'm aware of ODBC and things like that but not in an Autocad 2002 sense. If it is (or even if it isn't) a simple process, would you be able to tell me where I could get advice on how to do...

    Auto-Generating Drawings From MS Access

    Hi, At work we have an MS Access 2000 database which holds various information on drawings that we would like to produce in AutoCAD (2002 or 2005 Light.) Basically, is it possible to generate drawings in AutoCAD automatically, based on the information in the Access DB? I know that we can link to...
