I remember researching this same question for a client - they wanted to take the drawings they had for the local schools and integrate with a database each room, how lightbulbs, exits -Facilities Management-. . .etc. It was a NYS requirement. There is a different product that AutoDesk makes that addresses this. I think that it is called MapGIde. What also works is ARCView and Microstation.

If not have you considered doing this with Visio? I've seen similar building/equipment projects done iwth Visio automation. Sorry I can't be of any help on this - the scope of it is far beyond my experience with AutoCad. What I do know is that this will project take a lot of enthusiam, time, endurance and patience - Good Luck! -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Mitsules, Mark S.

First project is our departmental floor plan which will include ALL of the attributes for personnel and equipment. Later projects will build BOM drawings in AutoCAD dynamically. Concurrently with those, I would like to develop an automation process which monitors a network folder, and when a new drawing is placed there, automatically extract certain drawing attributes, log them into a database, and create a .dwf format version for intranet publication.

There is ONE example in the AutoCAD samples folder. There is ONE book that I found regarding database connectivity (circa 1999). ...and a DISTINCT lack of web-based material as far as I can tell:( I would be most appreciative for pointers towards any of the following: recent books (AutoCAD 2002 or later), web-based tutorials, web-based examples, personal examples, cave paintings...anything. Thanks in advance for any/all information. Mark Conversely, I am willing to pay $40 to anyone willing to take the AutoCAD help files and develop a booklet within the next 2 weeks, including a table of contents, that will allow me to chronologically work my way through a project. -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
