Integrate Dynamo with Autocad

[Yonas89]

Hello,

I am not sure which forum to choose for my question, thus I hope I have chosen the right one. I have read and watched about Dynamo compatibility with Revit and it looks just amazing. However I use Civil 3d in my daily process which is AutoCAD based and though it's  challenging  to combine Dynamo with AutoCAD, I know it's possible, but I don't know how. I would like to discuss with you guys, maybe you have some experience with it or some thoughts to share. I have found this short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiz76GTN-8Y. Sorry that it's in Russian, don't understand Russian but I get the point that AutoCAD objects could be controlled from Dynamo.

Hello sir,

Could you please tell how to integrate Dynamo Studio or Dynamo with AutoCad. Can we  access AutoCad API through Dynamo or Dynamo Studio.

Hi,

this will show only line in AutoCAD by converting ARC into line but,I want also the the arc in AutoCAD but this code is not working.

please suggest me the correct code I have same problem.

I'd like to use python for Fabrication CADMEP.

Mainly for automating object manipulation. 

Here is a link to these types of objects:

Currently we use scripting but I'd like to use python.

Are there any limitations that I will run into or will it be fairly intuitive to get rolling with Dynamo and CADMEP scripting?

I noticed than ironpython use python 2 but the version than support pythons 3 is in alpha , then is possible to use other library like python.net and create a sample video using last dynamos stable version with AutoCAD Architecture and MEP?

Hello Mr. Khasan,

I have been stuck in doing a very tedious, repetitive task manually, in AutoCad

What I have to do is to enter some information in attributes of various blocks, sequentially

like A1, A2, A3.. and so on.

Can you please help me out here?

Thanks,

Hello Mr. Khasan,

I have been stuck in a repetaitve and cumbersome task of feeding information to attributed of each block of an AutoCad file. And not a single info but sequential, different for each block.
For Example, A1, A2, A3 .......

Can you please help me here?
Thanks,

Hmm, I think with Dynamo it would be possible but difficult. I think the better option would be to create custum plugin for it.

Yes basic nodes that comes with dynamo not enough to do all C3D stuff (like creating corridor for example), but package like Civil3dToolKit (Autodesk package) will help, also as you said you can create your own packages and Nodes using Zero Touch Nodes, or custom nodes that composing other nodes.

Well, if you do not have a specific task, then I'll show you how to build the line in the open AutoCAD file.

restart = IN[0]
if IN[1] != True: off = 1/0

import clr

clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *

import System
from System import *

app = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Autocad.Application")
AcDoc = app.ActiveDocument

lines = IN[2]

def ptA(p):
	return Array[float]([p.X, p.Y, p.Z]) 


for k in lines:
	stpt = ptA(k.StartPoint)
	enpt = ptA(k.EndPoint)
	linn = AcDoc.ModelSpace.AddLine(stpt, enpt)

I tried to run your code but i found some warning / errors.

How can I fix this?

Do you know any way to combine multiple lines into polyline similarmy as PEDIT in autocad works ?
