Subject: [python-win32] Question win32com.client.Dispatch
Message-ID: <CAGtyPwHN5xgbMEjvQbiuy7WEDBHG8jsLM2JBj5CryfH3jJdfzA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I'm trying to use the command of
win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoCAD.Application") and on the computer that
I'm working with there are two versions of AutoCAD one from 2007 and
another from 2021. I want to use a program that I created with the most
recent version but when I run my code it automatically opens up
AutoCAD2007. How can I create a dispatch that will run the most recent
version of AutoCAD no matter the  computer?

P.S I don't want to uninstall the 2007 version since it runs some of my
older programs.

Thank you

When building your ?AutoCad.Application? object, it looks like 2007 is the default object?

In your computer?s registry directly under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT you should be able to find a Key (FOLDER icon) that matches that name?  as well, IF AutoCAD has different versions installed , you should be able to see ?AutoCad.Application.#######? as well, which should be the COM Object name for the specific version you are looking for.

While I don?t have AutoCad installed, Microsoft Excel is an application that goes about this the same way?

If I had 2+ versions of Excel installed, I would send ?Excel.Application.16? to work with for my currently installed version of Office 2019.

I hope this helps.

Good Afternoon Win32 team.

My name is Jaiven McIntosh. I am working for Edmund Optics this summer for an internship. My job is to create a macro that will change a specification on Solidworks prints. As we know Solidworks is VBA based for its macros. I have made a macro but I want to wrap it in python since I used Pandas to iterate through an excel sheet to find various values and stored them. How would I go about wrapping the VBA in Python? On the documentation and the website it didn't seem very obvious. Can any one point me in the right direction?

-Jaiven M.

Usually it's easier to translate VBA statements to Python statements
