Contest Brief

Task: Extract a strip (of specified width) of an AutoCad drawing along a specified polyline path.
I am looking for a VBA/VB6 tool (along with code and all LISP tools if they were embedded into VBA/VB6 code) that automates this task as outlined in the following. I am using AutoCAD 2015 version.
• Load the baseline AutoCad file
• Read the polyline path (X-Y coordinates for all vertices) from an external file in CSV format (BR-1.csv for example). One pair X-Y coordinates for each vertex in only line separated by a comma.
• User specified breadth for the polygon to be drawn around the polyline. The polygon should be extended on both end points by this value.
• Extract ALL objects within this polygon and objects outside the polygon should be trimmed (similar to what EXTRIM command does). Overlapping text may be left untrimmed.
• Save this extracted polygon view of the baseline map (trimmed and rest of the data purged to reduce the size of drawing) into an external DWG file (BR-1_PlanStrip.DWG for example).
• The plan strip shown earlier (the one extracted manually) has been altered slightly (and rotated) and those alterations are NOT required with the automated tool.

    Are you looking to have this particular data clipped or are you looking for a tool to input any polyline (from the external CSV) and produce a new DWG/DXF? Let me know ASAP!
