    Unhappy Drawing lines to match math functions.

    I am new to ACAD. Is it possible to utilize a math function to draw a curve. I want to draw a line that such that y = ln(x). Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    Larry,

    First, welcome to AUGI.

    As far as I know there is no easy way to do this.

    Is there a reason why you need this in AutoCAD?

    It seems to me a chart in Excel would be an easier way to show logarithms.(See Attached) I guess you could create a chart in Excel and insert it into AutoCAD.

    I think this is possible in VBA but for easier solution, maybe you need another program called MathCAD. I've seen my brother entering formulas there, but I havn't had time to use it. Maybe you want to try first to post in programming thread.
