Hey, pyautocad is a tool for automating tasks in AutoCAD using Python. As of now, I mainly used it for drawing and editing entities. For the Sheet Set Manager, there might not be direct support in `pyautocad`. However, if there's enough interest, maybe this feature could be explored more!
Yes, you can use PyCharm instead of Visual Studio Code to automate AutoCAD with PyAutoCAD. The choice of IDE doesn't impact the functionality of the code you write. Just make sure to properly set up your Python interpreter and install the necessary libraries.
Hello I have a problem linking python with autocad map 2024. I get a com error everytime i run the code . You said i have to check a com box in options>system , but i can t find the box you talked about . I also searched this problem online , and found other people facing the same issues on github. Any help would be aprecciated .Thanks!
I am trying to run a test code from chat gpt and I have imported pyautocad library . Also , do i need to have VBA installed in autocad in order to get it to work ?
I would test it for simple codes like this below: from pyautocad import Autocad, APoint acad = Autocad(create_if_not_exists=True) acad.prompt("Hello! AutoCAD from python.") print(acad.doc.Name) check if it prompts the message in AutoCAD
Hello. Thanks a lot for your feedback. I managed to make it work. I just needed to write something simpler and to work from there. I thought it was something wrong with my version of autocad but everything is good ! 🙏🤑
Thank you for the comment, it looks like a good idea, I have used LISP scripts to do that before. In pyautocad, there is a function iter_objects('Line') you could use for iterating on lines only. I will add to my magic list😊.
I would agree but AutoCAD automation with Python opens vast possibilities, beyond what a UI can offer. Learning to code not only expands your toolkit but also unlocks custom solutions. After all you could create UI for your own work
Thank you for your comment. As of my knowledge there is not a widely known PyCivil specifically for Autodesk Civil 3D automation. Also I believe pyautocad is mainly designed to work with the basic AutoCAD environment and its core functions, not specifically with the extended features of C3D.
However, there are indeed several tools and methods available for automating tasks in Civil 3D. Some popular options include Dynamo, the .NET API, and VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), although VBA is considered a legacy option and less commonly used these days.
Anyway I'm considering creating videos to provide quick tips on how to get started with some of these automation tools in Civil 3D. Stay tuned for that :) and I hope it will be helpful for you and other users looking to improve their efficiency and productivity using Civil 3D.
I have little confusion.If we write python code then how does it connects with the Autocad automatically..?? some additional steps are needed or not ..??If needed then please tell me which way to connect both of them
thank you for your video. I waiting another themes in that direction. Clear and comprehensible English.

what is the best language to automate AutoCad drawings (Python, Lisp or Visual Basic) for a beginner?
@@ajarivas72 for complete beginner Python, due ease of learning, readability and broad applications
@@ahmedskullab
Thanks. I will procede with Python as you kindly suggest.
Best of luck!@@ajarivas72
Hi Boss. Does pyautocad can edit sheet set manager of autocad?

Alex, could you explain what are you trying to do and arr u using a python library?

This is from developers point of view,how can core electrical,civil, machanical engineer will work with this, do we need to create UI

@@ahmedskullab okay cool, let's see.

I am tuned to watch your videos about those automation tools in Civil 3D in AutoCAD.
I have little confusion.If we write python code then how does it connects with the Autocad automatically..?? some additional steps are needed or not ..??If needed then please tell me which way to connect both of them
Its via COM, I am preparing a video to explain how all this work
@@ahmedskullab thanks brother
