AutoCAD Parameters
Grasshopper parameters that hold live references to AutoCAD geometry and annotation objects, letting you select them in the drawing and feed them into your definition.
AutoCAD Block Reference
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a block instance placed in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry one or more block insertions between nodes so you can read their placement and properties or feed them into other operations. It tracks both the inserted instance and its source block definition.
- Represents: A block reference (an inserted instance of a named block) in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Block Reference" / "Select Block References"
Menu & behaviour
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced block instance or its block definition changes in the document.
AutoCAD Curve
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a curve drawn in AutoCAD, such as a line, polyline, arc, circle, or spline. Use it to carry curves between nodes so they can be previewed, converted to Rhino geometry, or used as input to other operations.
- Represents: A curve object (line, polyline, arc, circle, spline, etc.) in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Curve" / "Select Curves"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

AutoCAD Dimension
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a dimension annotation in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry dimensions between nodes so they can be previewed, inspected, or converted.
- Represents: A dimension annotation in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Dimension" / "Select Dimensions"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

AutoCAD Hatch
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a hatch (a filled or patterned region) in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry hatches between nodes so they can be previewed, inspected, or converted to Rhino geometry.
- Represents: A hatch (filled or patterned area) in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Hatch" / "Select Hatches"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

AutoCAD Leader
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a leader annotation in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry leaders between nodes so they can be previewed, inspected, or converted. When you pick a legacy leader in the drawing it is brought in as a modern multileader.
- Represents: A multileader (or legacy leader) annotation in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Leader" / "Select Leaders"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

AutoCAD Mesh
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a polyface mesh in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry meshes between nodes so they can be previewed, converted to Rhino geometry, or used as input to other operations.
- Represents: A polyface mesh in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Mesh" / "Select Meshes"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

AutoCAD Point
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a point object in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry points between nodes so they can be previewed, converted to Rhino points, or used as input to other operations.
- Represents: A point object in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Point" / "Select Points"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.

AutoCAD Solid
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a 3D solid in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry solids between nodes so they can be previewed, converted to Rhino geometry, or used as input to other operations.
- Represents: A 3D solid in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a 3D Solid" / "Select 3D Solids"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.

AutoCAD Text
Params › AutoCAD
Holds a reference to a text object in an AutoCAD drawing. Use it to carry text between nodes so it can be previewed, inspected, or converted. Both multiline text and single-line text can be picked; single-line text is brought in as multiline text.
- Represents: A text object (multiline or single-line text) in AutoCAD.
- Selection prompts: "Select a Text Object" / "Select Text Objects"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.
