Connecting AutoCAD to Oracle Database

[jkurji]

Hi All,

Is it possible to get AutoCAD 2004 to connect to an Oracle Database on a Unix server. I am not a CAD person so I am not sure, but I would have thought there are ways to connect using LISP or VB.

Any help or sniplet of code would be appreciated.

Thank You.

Jay.

VB would be your route ...
But what exactly are you looking to grab from the DWg file and import into Oracle?

Once you give that input, maybe someone here can give some more insight.

We have drawings of buildings with their areas and other information related to that building. We need that information stored in an oracle database. If the drawings are changed, then the database needs to be updated to reflect the changes.

The person who looks after the CAD drawings knows how to extract the info from the DWG files. He doesn't know how to connect to the database and insert that data into Oracle tables.

Hi Jkurji,

Have a look at plant 4d as this does that. You can reference in acad drawings and it will link them to any database ie oracle access sql etc. The explorer module will also solve the other problem you posted for viewing acad drawings in non windows formats.
