Hello:
 
I'm new to AutoCAD and trying to figure out a way to create a template in Excel that will allow me to use my coordinates (XY) along with radius information to create a drawing using a SR file.
 
My biggest problem is, my line segments are a combination of straight lines and arcs and they vary in sequential order.
 
How can I put these coordinates/radii into an excel file which I then can convert to a SCR file to use in AutoCAD?
 
I have attached a sample of 4 different objects (shape of a fan blade) to show exactly what I'm working with. As you will notice amny of the segments use a radius but there are some straight lines as well. I do not want to have to modify my template for every object as I have hundreds of these objects I'm tying to create.
 
Any assistance or thought would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance for your help.

Ryan,

This is not exactly what you're after, but it may give you a few ideas.  I've never tried something quite as complex as what you're after, but there's almost always a way.  You will have to convert your spreadsheet to coordinates however, or somehow figure out bearing and length values.  With those you should be able to build a spreadsheet where it then becomes a simple matter of copy and paste to the command line.

Good luck!
Dave.
