I'm the only one out of a bunch of guys using 2012. Others in my office are using either 2010 or 2009. They can set up Excel tables with links and have no troubles but, the minute I try to edit one the link gets broken. I also have an issue where if I highlight the border of the OLE, right click, and try to open the OLE... I get a small error box saying that the server application has failed.

Is it possible to export the contents Table directly into Excell from AutoCad2012?
I've tried the Data extraction wizard but it seems to export the Table attributes/properties and not the contents of the table.

When trying to link to excel file get error "Not Implemented". Have tried the registry 'fix' - does not work. Need to get these links working to drive models. This same Excel version works fine for Solidworks which inks perfectly with no issues whatsoever. Inventor has been a problem for 2011,and now 2012 - still not working.
I am using Rel 2013 C3D
How do I remove excel data links from my Reference Manager (see attached image). What I have been doing is AutoCad erasing the graphics from my drawing but the link still remains in the xref manager window.
designer has Excel 2007 and cad 2012 LT. He linked a table into the plans.
I have Excel 2010 and cad 2012. I opened the plans, i double click on the table he just inserted with 'paste special link', and the excel table will not open for me to edit.
When I linked the same table into the plans, he was unable to double click the table in cad to open the table to edit it.
the cad error is 'FAILED TO LAUNCH SERVER APPLICATION'
I am not sure if it is because he has cad 2012 LT and I have the full version?
Is it cause the different version of Excel?
Is this supported by Autodesk, and will installing both products create any issues?

I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker. I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques. The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans. To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format.
I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds). The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). They go through a flattening process.
I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour.
I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not. If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign. That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work. Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow.
I'm doing a program in Visual Basic 2010. In one of the forms I put a button that when clicked must open AutoCAD 2012 and make a drawing in it. The user will decide where to save it.The steps are these:
1. I added the references Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common to the Visual Basic Project. That's OK.
2. I wrote this in the heading of the form's
- Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
-Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common
3. In the event Click of the Button1 I put this:
Dim acadApp As New AcadApplication 'Create an instance of an AutoCAD Application
AcadApp.Application.Visible = True 'Show the instance of the AutoCAD Application
Dim acadDoc As AcadDocument 'Create an intance of an AutoCAD Document
acadDoc = acadApp.Documents.Open("C:Respaldo TesisDibujo2.dwg") 'Open a Document called Dibujo 2
'Draw a line

I recently loaded several versions of AutoCAD on to a Windows 7 machine. ALL versions will open a drawing if double-clicked from windows explorer, but if I try to open through AutoCAD, the program freezes as soon as I click on the "Open" button. This is true for AutoCAD 2010 through 2012.

I also cannot open multiple instances of ANY version of AutoCAD in Windows 7.
Can export the repair details from dwg drawing prepared by asd in to excel by the use of auto cad?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table imported into autocad from excel, however despite the table (excel) being formatted, border lines appropriately placed and hidden througout the sheet, all off the border lines of the cells appear when imported into autocad.
is there anything i can do to hide back some border lines for selected cells?
I created an assembly, so far with one part in it. I created an Excel spreadsheet with several dimensions in it that would be used in the assembly parts. I went to Manage>Parameters and linked the spreadsheet. The Excel file appeared in the Parameter Dialog Box with the parameters included in it. However, when I create a part in the assembly and attempt to dimension a sketch in it, the parameters option in the dimension box is not present.
I have done this in the past in IV2009, has anything changed that I cannot do so in 2010?
I am trying to add an excel document to a cad drawing using ole. I wish to make it transparent so that only the cells themselves are visible and not the white background and empty cells. (I hope that makes sense).
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have this problem at the moment with an Microsoft excel file that appears to have become stuck in the External references list, Ref C1-01-06. We would like to remove it if possible as it is now superseded (we can't change the file name unfortunately. What do we do if we can't reload, detach or bind? Its not referenced into anything else that is attached to the file, it is a direct attachment of the file that we are in.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI use an embedded excel file I a lot of my drawings. 90% of the time a double click opens excel for editing with no problem. But every so often I get a stubborn one that just will not open. It will select and the quick properties box will appear and then the properties box, but nor firing up of Excel. Usually if I am persistent I can get it to work, but I have one right now that is more stubborn than I am.

Using AutoCAD 2010, and I'm having problems printing with one dwg, that I've had to copy an Excel Spreadsheet into. The spreadsheet was created with Excel 2007, and has quite a bit of text in it, and I'm trying to print it on an E size sheet, to an HP Designjet 4000. AutoCAD hangs up each time I try to print this, and my computer gets a message indicating that I'm low on disk space, even tho I do have plenty of space. It's like Autocad is taking more resources than it normally should. How I can insert this spreadsheet into AutoCAD and be able to print it? I've inserted the spreadsheet in model space, and the titleblock/border is in paperspace. I've tried printing to pdf and exporting to other formats to see if that will work, but AutoCAD keeps hanging up. Any other AutoCAD dwg works fine to print to the printer. It's just this one file with a spreadsheet inserted into it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed Autocad 2011. I have Excel tables in one of my drawings that was in Autocad 2004.
However, with new 2011, I can not bring the OLE to Excel where I want to edit.
I got "OLE Failed to launch server app" error message.
I search around. It seems that I need to try the command "OLELINKS". But my OLELINKS under EDIT is DISABLED!
Everytime I open up a new drawing an error pops up that there is (2) Xref that cant load. It seems to be the same (2) Excel files I have to go to the Datalink Manager and delete them. Is there any way to get in the Datalink Manager without opening a drawing to unlink these?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having an issue when printing to PDF from AutoCAD my Excel spreadsheets show up with gridlines that are not there in there Excel or CAD. I have tried a number of things to eliminate that lines (see list below) but nothing has worked so far. I am running AutoCAD 2012 and Excel 2003. I have inserted the spreadsheet using "Paste Special" so that I can continue to work on the spreadsheet in excel and it will update in CAD.
- I have changes the Plot Quality. In Monochrome the lines print. Low quality the spreadsheet does not show up. High quality again nothing shows up
- In Excel I have turned off the "Gridlines" and re-copied into AutoCAD. The lines still show up when printing to PDF
- If I paste as an AutoCAD Entity I can not update in Excel
Any method to export text to excel such that the text is editable within excel?
I have a column of text (each text line is an individual mtext entity) and I would like them to appear in a column format in excel where each mtext entity has it's own cell.
I have linked a table from excel into autocad 2012. I have selected "Start with excel formatting, do not update" in the datalink options. My problem is when I break the table the first table will keep my formatting changes - text height and alignment, but the following table breaks do not stay the same once I close and reopen the drawing
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a set of part descriptions that need to be changed. Each part description corresponds to a part number. See the example below of what it would look like in AutoCAD.
123 screw
265 bolt
847 washer
But this list can get really long. Each part number and each description is a seperate text string or mtext string. I plan on having an excel spreadsheet that has a list of all part numbers that my company uses with their corresponding descriptions.
I would like to use the part number to find the appropriate description and then change the description. Hopefully this can be done automatically for a list of part numbers and their descriptions.
I am making an excel spreadsheet that has a list of all the drawings we have on file, an inventory list per say. I have all of the drawings hyperlinked.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are a MEP firm, using AutoCAD 2011 and Excel 2007, and our project is a building with 1000+ rooms. Each room has specified supply and return airflows that need to show up in text in each of the rooms. All the airflow values are calculated in a spreadsheet.
My thought is to use fields in the text that shows up in each room, then link each field to a specific cell in Excel, because these values will be evolving over the next year.
We had a client who could not open our drawings that had linked Excel spreadsheets in them even though we supplied the spreadsheets. The drawings would crash AutoCAD when they tried to open them.
My solution was to open the drawings, pick on the Linked Spreadsheet OLE in the drawing, Ctrl+C (Edit > Copy) then I Edit > Paste Special > As Image. I would paste it in at the lower left corner of the existing spreadsheet.
I set the properties of the new OLE so the Lock Aspect Ratio was Off or No and drag the upper right corner of my newly inserted image to the upper right corner of the existing linked spreadsheet so it would be a perfect match.
I then erased the existing linked spreadsheet.
Now they can open the files and we don't need to include the spreadsheet when we send the files.
