The workbook can be opened with Excel 2007 or newer. In these sample drawings, the INSBASE command has been used to change the default base point (as described above).

The zip file contains an Excel workbook along with 3 sample AutoCAD drawings that can be used as blocks.

Note that if you have AutoCAD 2010 or a newer version, you will have to download and install the VBA module, otherwise the code will probably fail.Īll links were copied from Autodesk‘s website. That’s all AutoCAD will use the new base point the next time you insert the drawing.

Specify with your mouse a new point that you want to use as a base point.

Open the dwg file you want to use as a block.

You can change the default coordinate by following the next 4 steps: The reason is that by default, AutoCAD uses the coordinate (0, 0, 0) as the base point when inserting a drawing file. dwg file, the results might not be as expected. One thing that should be highlighted is that when inserting a block from a. MsgBox "The blocks were successfully inserted in AutoCAD!", vbInformation, "Finished" Set acadBlock = (InsertionPoint, BlockName, _īlockScale.X, BlockScale.Y, BlockScale.Z, RotationAngle * 0.0174532925) 'The 0.0174532925 is to convert degrees into radians. 'Add the block using the sheet data (insertion point, block name, scale factors and rotation angle). Range("H" & i).Value vbNullString Then RotationAngle =. Range("G" & i).Value vbNullString Then BlockScale.Z =. Range("F" & i).Value vbNullString Then BlockScale.Y =. Range("E" & i).Value vbNullString Then BlockScale.X =. 'Set the optional parameters (if there are values on the corresponding ranges). 'Check if there are coordinates for at least one circle. 'Activate the coordinates sheet and find the last row. 'It goes without saying that AutoCAD must be installed at your computer before running this code. 'The code uses late binding, so no reference to external AutoCAD (type) library is required. 'Note that the block name or the block path must already exists, otherwise nothing will be inserted. 'Inserts blocks in AutoCAD using data - insertion point, block name/full path, scale factors, rotation angle - from Excel. 'A custom type that holds the scale factors of the block.

The conversion – degrees to radians – is being done internally. Note that the InsertBlock method here is used with a small variation: the RotationAngle must be given in degrees. The code is actually a loop most of the code is used to initialize the AutoCAD object, as well as the active/new drawing. VBA code for adding blocks in AutoCAD from Excel Then, by clicking the “Insert Blocks” button the blocks are inserted either in the active drawing (if AutoCAD is already launched), or in a newly created drawing. Optional parameters are the scale factors (in X, Y, and Z axes) as well as the rotation angle.

The sample workbook that you will find in the Downloads section below requires two main and two optional parameters: the coordinates of the insertion point (in X, Y, Z) and the block name (or its full path, including the. The rotation angle relative to the WCS X-axis expressed in radians. RotationAngle: Double input-only (optional). dwg extension and any path information necessary for AutoCAD to find the file. The name of the AutoCAD drawing file or the name of the block to insert. The 3D WCS coordinates specifying the location in the drawing to insert the block.īlockName: String input-only. InsertionPoint: Variant (three-element array of doubles) input-only. Object: ModelSpace Collection, PaperSpace Collection, Block – the objects this method applies to. The placed block as a Block Reference object. RetVal = object.InsertBlock(InsertionPoint, BlockName, Xscale, Yscale, Zscale, RotationAngle) Anyway, according to AutoCAD VBA help, the structure of InsertBlock method is the following: The code presented today is not new it was written actually some months ago (in April). I gave him some insight and I think that it’s time to present the complete solution, which involves AutoCAD’s InsertBlock method. In the comments section of the previous post about AutoCAD and Excel interaction, a blog reader (Tim) asked me if it is possible to insert blocks in AutoCAD from Excel.
