Pass Commands to AutoCAD from Access

[CMPaccess]

I have a command button which allows the user to
open a drawing in autoCAD based on an entry in the database.

what I would like is for the drawing to open and run a series of commands automatically.

I.e.

After the drawing has opened in searches the paperspace and locates a drawing border and then opens the dialogue to allow the user to ammend the attributes.

Is this at all possible

Thanks

Hi

You do not say how you are actually openning the drawing, via a hyperlink perhaps?

To achieve what you are trying to do, you need to you need to instantiate an instance of autocad as an Access object, then from VBA you can manipulate that object using autocad commands

I am not familiar with autocad so cannot give more details
