Hi,

if you know the code that opens and accesses AutoCAD from Excel-VBA then run your scr by using SendCommand("_SCRIPT" & vbcr & ...).

Can you please describe a little bit more detailed what you like to do exactly?

Because you say you run an AutoLISP command ... but what you show is a VB/A syntax.

From LISP the call of a line (if you need to use "command") is:

   (command "_LINE")
