Using a text file to add and manipulate Dynamic Blocks

Anonymous

I am trying to find out if you can use a text file (converted from a spreadsheet) to add dynamic blocks to a drawing, not just the X, Y coordinates, but the angle (not standard rotation, the dynamic one). The block I am working with reflects “Dip & Strike”. The block has only three (3) dynamic variables, Angle, Basepoint and Visibility Drop List. I want to automate adding multiple blocks without having to change the angle (not rotation) one at a time.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can't do it within stock autocad.  You might want to ask on the programming forum.
