We use a table with an inserted jpeg image (company logo) as our title block. Everything works fine when you start a new drawing, however, when one tries to insert the template into an existing drawing or thru a new layout, the table that is our title block comes in mirrored with the rows and columns all out of whack.

I am using VB.net to generate a custom table in my .idw files to make a plot stamp. The table is showing up, however, the text is garbled. When you open the .idw, the table properties show the text correctly but the display is coming out messed up. I have attached a picture of what each looks like. I moved the table off the sheet for clarity.
The

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument

oInvSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet

I tried many times to paste excel table into autocad using paste special/paste link/autocad entities/. The first problem is that the table is coming out with text all over the place, not properly formatted. When I click on the table it's covered by some kind of frame or hatch-like. I am using 2010 Office pro Excel. See attached.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the problem that the text in text boxes and measurements are displayed wrong. They are somehow mirrored. I tried to many settings but still it didn't changed. To show the problem better I added a picture of the problem.
I use Autocad 2013 on a 64 Bit Win 7 Professional SP1.
Using the same template Text and Dimension style all of the sudden the text is vertical and mirrored and the dimension text is mirrored under the dim line ( above the dim line in normal conditions)
What could be the problem? I did not change anything in the settings, voluntarily, I use this template for years and never had a problem with it till now.
See the bubbled text in the attached PDF.
Same drawing (attached) with identical settings printed on one PC using DWG to PDF - creates this:
on another PC this:
So, some angle and aligned length dimensions are mirrored.

In our company, we put Excel tables in our drawings. The reason we've chosen for Excel-tables is that we can adjust the layout of the table quite easily. These tables consist of grouped cells in a particular company-specific layout. We select the range of the desired cells, copy and paste them in our AutoCAD drawing. This drawing is sent to our customers. The disadvantage of this method is, that when our customers (who use CAD-software of other brands) open the dwg, they don't see the table, but some kind of picture of the table.
Is there a way to 'explode' the excel-table, but keep the specific layout of the table? For attributes in blocks there's the 'Explode Attributes'-command in the Express-tools, but is there something similar for Excel-tables?

why my xrefs are coming in really dark ? I like to have a black model space so it's really hard to see them. There must be a setting somewhere.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using AutoCAD 2010. I'm placing some length dimensions on partial sections of a circle and the arc dimension comes straight out from the chosen points as a dimension of a flat line does. I would like it to look like an angular dimension without having to use a text override. Is there any way to change that to where the placed dimension lines follows the edges of the section instead of coming straight out?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have imported an Excel 2003 spreadsheet into an AutoCAD 2010 Table, all came in fine except the following formula =ROUNDUP(((SUM(E27:E33))/24),0)
Does 2010 not support ROUNDUP ? The formula is used to calculate the number (whole) of driver boards required to drive the number of LED's calculated by the SUM function. Each driver board can drive 24 LED's, so if i have 23 LED's I need 1 driver or if I have 25 LED's I need 2 drivers
Also is there a list or table that shows what Excel functions are or are not supported in AutoCAD? I can't seem to find one.
Is it possible to write “If statement” in the table?
For example, I wanted to have the following if statement:
If b3>180º, d3 = b3-180º
If b3<180º, d3 = b3 +180º
Is this possible in the AutoCAD the same way we do it in excel?

I'm attempting to create a table within autocad that I can update as I add new things to my drawing.
I have a ton of dblocks that carry attributes with them, and I want to be able to have the table in autocad populate with the information from each insertion.
The table in autocad will be linked to an excel spreadsheet that should also be updated (either as a separate action or automatically... not sure what would be better).
The table in excel will go through a system of formula that will divide it up into useable groups for me. How do I update a table within Autocad, instead of having to create a new table every time I want to add data to the extraction information?
I 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've linked a table to an Excel file. It comes in with twice the number of rows that are needed. There are 35 rows of data and it comes in with 70 rows. The print area in Excel is set to only the 35 rows. Can I truncate the table?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI copied a piece of an Excel file into AutoCAD as a table. It comes in with the truetype font even though it is assigned to a table style that utilizes an shx font and the correct text style is assigned when I double click in the cell. If I click into the cell and change the text style it will change the font but this will be very time consuming.In the end, I need an AutoCAD table with this information.

View 7 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.

If I insert a table with our standard table style is is to big, so made a smaller text style, made a new table style with the new text style in it.
And if I insert a new table with the new style its still big...
But... select the table, right click, Remove All Property Overrides... And the text style is OK, only the row height is wrong, so in the table bar - unlocked, select the table again and move the right little triangle up until the rows don't get smaller.
I have created a dynamic block and have applied some lookup tables to it but its not working just the way I want it. I think its to do with the custom entry on the lookup tables. If I delete the custom entry when i select the block in model space the drop down select box to allow me choose a selection is no longer available. How can I remove the custom entry and still have the block working normally. I've attached the block.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHere's my problem: I have a customized plot style table "SK.ctb". I have it saved both in the appropriate folders on my computer and in a shared folder on the network. Usually when I am working in a file and open the plot window, my plot table is available in the list at the upper right "Plot style table (pen assignments)".
Right now I am working in a drawing that was sent to me by another firm. They of course didn't send me their pen assignment tables, not that I really care as I would rather edit the layer colors if necessary, but use my own. The problem is that in the plot window it is only showing their plot styles - none of mine! Theirs are all listed as missing, but I can't get it to even look for the plot tables I usually use.
I am trying to add a table that I can edit like an attribute but have it in a block, Basically I am trying to put information for all the poles in an electrical panel, but im not using MV parts just a block is there anything that can be recommended in this instance.
Just another note I need to reference 72 poles and 5 colums for each of these.
Can't drag it, copy it...anything. I guess you're just never supposed to want your table on some other sheet than the one you created it on.
Oh wait; I know...I could just swap everything *else* on the two sheets....
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 am trying to insert a table using a data link. I set up the Link through the DataLink manager and then insert the table using a range. I click OK to insert the table and after a few seconds of thinking ACAD sits there with no table on the screen. When I look in XREFs, the DL is there but says it is unrefrenced. Tried multiple ways of entering or setting up information to no avail.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI like the concept of datalinks, it's ingenious working with excel and do what excel does best instead of doing it in acad. I am done with the excel part and want to edit my table in autocad.
My problem is that I have some unused rows and columns that I can't get rid of, erase is greyed out.
Is there a way to hide or collapse several rows in a Table with a single click? This would be similar to grouping rows together in Excel.

I have a table created from a datalink using TABLE command. I want to have it use a fill color of 255 in order to mask the objects behind it. I cannot seem to modify the table style, and using fill in Excel doesn't seem to the affect Autocad table.
As you know, when I create a table from a datalink I am not allowed to choose which style.
I don't like using wipeouts to provide a background mask, because they never seem to work when plotting from paper space.
How I can apply fill to the table, or otherwise mask the pbjects behind the table?
