Using AutoCAD programming for parametric drawings

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a program where I enter some parameters, and then obtain an Acad drawing based on those parameters?

It would be nice to have such a program so I can obtain steel reinforcement details for some common building objects like a stair that are usually the same, except small variations in dimensions. I enter the parameters of the stair, and parameters for the reinforcement bars, then the program draws and annotates everything.

Here is an example of what I would like to obtain:

I am new to this, have a little experience in programming, but have no idea about what is possible or not with AutoCAD. Can someone point me in the right direction, where to start, what to use?

Thank you!

Yes. You can extensively customize AutoCAD using various programming languages such as AutoLISP (for light scripting) and .NET and ObjectARX for heavy lifting and custom objects. Dynamo can also be linked to AutoCAD as I understand.

Buna ziua..

pas1)Eu iti pot face parametric drawing.Primul pas este noi sa convertim desenul dvs in surse-scripturi .Lisp sau remix C+Lisp. Eu nu stiu daca se poate converti C#,.

pas2). Tu iti faci cont user pe "lisp2arx forum  3x for:" si tu dai un mesaj PM la zauchan

userul click-here 

Trebuie coordonatele polarizate pe un singur-punct, doua puncte sau trei puncte.Mail multe puncte inseamna o constrangere a desenului in limitele impuse.

pas3) *** Tudor-Gheorghe-manastire 

Mari problem apar la vizibiliatea interioara a desenul;ui., vizbilitatea interioare influentata de dimensiusile MTEXT sau TEXT din desenul curent.

pas4) "Agni Partene 5.mp3"  

Curbele (arc,cercuri) sunt raportate iar gasirea de elemente relationare din desene este foarte complicata.

pas5) https://youtu.be/KeEKqDs08gg?t=2 

La final trebuie realizata o rutina, care face verificarea raportarilor, daca elementele din desen au fost create corect (Cele mai frecvente probleme apar la DIMNSIUNILE -dimaligned)

@diagodose2009,

it's a pity for me that I don't speak Romanian 😊

Hi @Anonymous , all you can do in acad "by hand" can be made by LISP , you have to state all data and formulas . 

Start by first a some formula to draw a stair ,  as height , you can meet the codes .

Like the others can be done for what your asking you may have to pay for an answer. There are answers already done and do more look at Autodesk apps, for me google "Strucplus"

If you want to do yourself and have never programmed you need to start learning now probably on simple task.
