Hi,
I have a task of traversing many different (100's) of GA's and comparing the BOM in the drawing to the updated material usage that is stored in FileMaker 13 databases. This is almost a shout from he rooftops call to automate.
I understand that AutoCAD has the ability to link its BOM with some kind of database and I know that I can query FileMaker using Python/SQL. If I can set this up not only will I update the BOM, but will be able to automatically update the BOM when more changes are made, future-proofing the system.
So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions/experience in a similar task and would be able to give me hints towards the best solution. I am a new user to both programs but am experienced in the programming languages required to complete the task.
