Make Design Spreadsheet with AutoCAD Block

[linhoreka]

I am developing an application in AutoCAD. Here is how the AutoCAD Block - Design Spreadsheet works:

Here is the How-to-create tutorial video:

The idea is making AutoCAD block acts as a design spreadsheet (like Microsolf Excel):
1. You create the block with attributes as variables
2. You add your custom formulas to the block with a text editor.

Then, everytime you edit an attribute, other attributes and the block's dynamic properties would change accordingly as the formulas executed.

Here is the demo version http://www.mediafire.com/?0hrzdab76ce92yv

If there is anyone interest in my application, please let me know and give me some advise. Then we can share the application once it is done !
Thanks in advance !

Commercially I can't see there being any demand for this. AutoCAD is on it's way out and is being replaced by parametric design tables. However there are still many engineers out there that still use AutoCAD daily (including me) that this would be a nice feature.

The use of blocks to act as a parametric design sheet is pretty neat. I like how it does the bending moment and shear plots (and other stuff) for you. I use Mathcad with the Roarks plug into achieve for the same thing.

You've done a really good job, it's got to be useful for someone out there.

Thanks, I am trying to make the best out of AutoCAD and VBA. Hope AutoCAD would never really out and replaced.
