COM Objects

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

I am working on a macro that extracts data from an excel table and then uses it to create a drawing in autocad. I am doing it using a txt file for data exchange between the programs. I wanted to know if AutoCAD supports COM Objects so that i could load excel and autocad classes in visual studio and create a single application that does it all instead of having one macro for transforming an excel table to txt and then another one for reading de txt and making a drawing.
If anyone knows I would appreciate it.
thanks

absolutely, why would you think you couldn't roll it all up into one app?
you can do the app in vb, excel or autocad and call either from the other.
