How to read existing dwg file using autocad??

[skyblue0807]

I studied your tutorial materials. But most of them are drawing pictures into new file.

How could I open/load/read existing dwg file??

Try this:

import pyacadcom

acad = pyacadcom.AutoCAD()
acad_doc = acad.Documents.Open("path_to_your_file")
#optional
acad.Visible = True
ms = acad_doc.ModelSpace
