DWG source by Python

I want to automize my routine tasks such as changing 1 word in huge AutoCAD .DWG file with a lot of text blocks (objects in autocad). So, can I open it by Python? And how?

Solution

  • Your best bet here is to convert the file first into something like SVG or .dxf and go from there. It's not easy getting the data from a .dwg file in python.

    You can make the conversion to SVG in python too using subprocess and a command line convert tool like cad2svg.
