Automatically create drawings in AutoCAD
(OP)
Is there a way to automatically create a large number of similar drawings where there are only 5-6 different changes between each drawing? I am faced with creating 100 different detail drawings of a label. Each label is slightly different - drawing number, part number displyed on the label, description shown on the label, etc. I would like to set up the drawing with fields that could be automatically populated from an excel spreadsheet. This would create the 100 drawings in a matter of seconds rather than manually making the changes.

simple to use spreadsheet addin that enables a "for-next" loop to generate ACAD scripts from Excel. It is also freeware.
