Hi All,
I need to be able to re-create an AECOSim Building Designer function in AutoCAD. My company uses ABD to generate productivity reporting for our stores. In ABD it works by starting the process which opens a context menu where some info such as the department name/code/etc is already loaded as we select each pre-made department space type. And then we can add info such as floor number. From there we create a 2d poly-line boundary around our sales area and depending on the application, once we hit the update sales area button, the poly-line boundaries will dynamically add the sales area name, square footage of the area within the boundary, and if applicable the number of counted furniture items within the boundary. I have a plan on how to accomplish this with vanilla AutoCAD using blocks, attributes, and tables but I was hoping someone had experience with something similar made for AutoCAD so I can automate this process to feel more similar to the ABD tool.
