update the title block attribute from the drawing register with capital letters and not lower case which has been entered into the drawing register.
That is everything that is updated from the drawing register is upper case when we want lower case.
I am looking for a way to use the .dwg file properties of a drawing to generate an updateable drawing list/register. One that will update automatically as the file properties are updated. I have already created a title block that uses text fields to display custom properties of the file on my title block, such as the job no., drawing no. etc.
I have searched the web for answers, came across this site, joined and searched through it... There are a number of threads that 'sorta' deal with my needs but alway tend to digress more towards the "poster's" needs and away from mine. I noticed that they all talk about Lisp Routines and I have no knowledge of using them. Is that the only way to go or can I use another route? Another one was the Sheet Set Manager but I don't think that this is exactly what I am looking for...

When I etransmit, I be sure to add the excel file, but when he opens the dwg, only the outline of the excel appears in his dwg, no content.

i am having a BOM template for the parametric modelling i have created using the excel sheet input link.

I've made a big calculation in a Pipe Stress Analysis program and the program has auto created 10 autocad drawings that is used to find points in the system.The problem is that the program has random numbered (with no intelligence) and now I have a big report which for example points at a number some where in the 10 drawings, which is hopeless to find.
Can I somehow:
1. Find all numbers in this drawing.
2. Put them into Excel.
3. Sort them after size.
4. Add an extra column which tells which drawing I can find the number.
5. Last put all the numbers from all the drawing into one Excel sheet and sort them after size, now I have a number index, so I can find which number is in which drawing.
Can Autocad find all numbers in a drawing and let me copy them to Excel for editing?
I want to link an excel sheet with a drawing, so changing the excel changes the drawing.
I used this awesome site to learn about going to Edit->Paste Special->Paste Link->AutoCAD Entities...but I don't have that choice. Just the one that makes the OLE image. While that will work, that is less than ideal. It appears in just normal paste, but not under paste link.

I inserted a table from excel to autocad with copy-edit/paste special/paste link / Microsoft excel worksheet(code) and everything seems to work nice until I closed the excel. After that no automatic updates to cad files.

I have an excel cell whose value i want to use as the text of a dimension that i've used text override, How do i do that?
So for example, i have line that is currently dimensioned. The dimension call out is using the text override feature and it's currently labeled "Fs = 4in". In my excel spreadsheet, cell A1 has the value 8, how do i make the text in the autocad now say "Fs = 8in"?
Can you take text from a drawing and export it out to excel? My thoughts are room numbers, employee names, department names, etc.
I need an excel spreadsheet showing this information to then upload to my CAFM Application? Is there an alternative to obtaining a report from a drawing?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have tremendous problem in our office while we open the CAD files which have linked to excel tables. It takes endless loading time if any computer has excell sheets opened. We use copy / paste special ( linked ) command to brought excel tables to the DWG files. OLE OBJECT command has worst result about linking excel sheets. How do we control ( link option) in this stution as linked versus unlinked?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen trying to insert a table linked to an Excel 2010 file, it works up until row 28, however, as soon as I add a 29th row to the table it no longer inserts the table. When I try and insert it, I press ok and nothing happens. I tried inserting it as a smaller table and changing the data link to a bigger range after it was inserted, it just didn't update to a larger range.
Is there a way of getting this to work without having to insert it as two different tables?
I've just finished up a ground level survey. I've jotted the coordinate and levels down in my notebook and typed them up on Excel. I'm having trouble getting the coordinates from excel into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 version.
I'm VERY new to this sort of stuff as a trainee site engineer the most I do is simply take coordinates from a drawing to set out on site. I'm importing the points from file using Civil 3D.
I've simply saved the coordinate on excel as, for example:
430245.454 434264.654 62.321
I get this error "No point file format match found" when I try and import them. I've had a look at some Youtube videos and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's the file type I'm saving it under.
was wondering if it's possible to bring in the value of a single Excel cell into a predefined window area in AutoCAD LT 2012? Some of our tool and die calculations are done in Excel, but we only want one cell (equation summary or description) brought into to AutoCAD 2007. If not AutoCAD LT 2007, then what about a more recent version of LT or even full blown AutoCAD?

I need to find a way to export my BOM data to an Excel spreadhseet. Some of my BOM's are in tables, most are not. I found a lisp routine that will export this data to a csv file, but it's clunky at best. I don't want to use the "ole" method, I don't feel like fighting that battle.
So outside of plotting to a "png", and pasting that into Excel, are there any other options that are feasible?
