vba to insert pdf's

[Anonymous]

Was wondering if anyone could help with this idea.

Would like to have a vba to insert pdf’s;

Here is what I would love to know how to do. “oh, I only have a little vba knowledge”

1)      Would to have an excel spread sheet that has a list of block or pdfs ” block/pdf name”, “path”, and “scale”,

2)      Have an interface that would prompt a user for a folder name say named  “details”

3)      Have an interface that would list block/pdf’s  that it pulls from the excel spread sheet, than copies the selected dpf/block to details folder

4)      Than insert pdf/block from that folder at a select point.

Have no idea if this is due able, to me sounds like a huge task, but if someone can get me started

I’m sure if could come up with something that works better that what I doing know.

Any suggestions?

Inserting block is fairly simple. You can search this forum or the Internet, or AutoCAD VBA help for sample code.

However, there is no support in AutoCAD VBA to create PDF underlay in drawing (inserting PDF into drawing). If you have to do it programmatically, you need to look into other programming language (LISP or ObjectARX/.NET API).
