Title: A new method to draw cross section diagrams quickly with AutoCAD and Excel
Abstract: How to draw cross section diagrams precisely and quickly is a painful problem for many road engineering surveyors while the calculation of roadway earthwork volume in road engineering is based on cross section diagrams, thus many road construction departments have to pay more attention to it. This paper firstly proposes a method to edit CAD command with Excel, which forms a simply link among cross section diagrams data handled by Excel, AutoCAD commands and drawing process of AutoCAD. It also discusses elaborately a new method to draw cross section diagrams precisely and automatically using AutoCAD and Excel with no knowledge of programming. The method is simple and convenient and can improve operational efficiency and work quality.
