Autocad live calculation

Hello!

I wonder if some of the gurus would like to help me.

 

We build playgrounds, usually modular playgrounds with pre-made blocks. All of these have an 8million number, I.ex. 8002001, Is there a way  to take the number compare to a database, we have jeeves but we also have excelsheets with all the components and prices, can we get the price from a column or similar in excel and show the price in autocad? Best would be if we could just hit a button and get the price updated. Would be much appretiated if someone could help me!

 

This would help me alot!

Best regards

Ludvig Rundlöf

Via programming/API it is possible from Excel or from your database directly, but you dont't find a program that works with your unknown database or Excelsheet, you have to customize it.

You can also take a look to a ootb database feature:
