Using lisp to Automatically export to shapefile

[john.bendix]

Hi I am not completly new to programming but is there a way to use lisp or even .net to
run a script or routine that would export a number of shapefiles from a dwg with object or link data?
Thanks

Have you tried scripting the .-mapexport command?

RK gave you a great solution for exporting to a shape file.

To help you will developing code to add the Object Data (OD) to the objects prior to export (Acad Map or not), this may help:

I've compiled all of the documentation I've been able to find on this topic here:

You can use the PDF link I reference to see all of the functions you would need to get, put, manipulate Object Data (OD), etc.

I understand you're new to programming, so this documentation may seem a bit overwhelming.

Hope this helps!
