Hello,
Let me preface this by saying I don’t know if this is possible or this a question better suited for a regular autocad forum, but I’m currently working on a pretty intensive project that requires me to connect a database source to my dwg file. The goal of the project is to automate changes from the database and reflect them onto a text script or something of the sort on autocad.
For example: if my database reads 8 machines are being supplied by this distributor, the text would read “8” and they would have a green fill/hatch to mark that they are online, but if I changed the information on the database, which is excel based, to read 7 machines, it would change to “7” and the machine that no longer is being supplied changes it’s shape fill/hatch to yellow, meaning not currently in use.
I know its a lot but I appreciate any help anyone can provide
