Can I export (copy) text from CAD to excel or word and be able to edit? I have pasted from CAD to both but the past was not like I wanted. It was in a window and not individual text lines.
How to export the .dwg file to Microsoft WORD as a base/background for further word processing on top? Is there any direct way to convert the file that can use in WORD?

how to export attribute data from a block to a MS Word document template. I am looking to create a check sheet for a drawing, i.e. open a drawing, click a button and a check sheet will be printed out that the operator can complete and sign. However all the drawing info from the title block would already be complete (extracted from the titleblock block attributes).
I have set up some autocad tables that are linked to excel data( using relative path) in an Autocad Architecture project template. In the xref dialog box, the data links are show as relative path e.g. ..Standards excel file
After creating a new project from this template and right-clicking in one of the cells which have linked data and selecting "data links" and "open data links file" it opens the template excel file, not the excel file within the project folder.
If I use the xref command, select and right click one of the excel data links and select "open" it does open the correct excel file located in the current project folder.
The xref dialog box does show all the data links as relative path e.g. ..Standardsexcel file.
I have a simple excel spreadsheet that calculates our lighting loads and I want to insert it into my CAD drawing. I've tried data linking, paste special, etc. but nothing seems to work.
- I want the file to update in CAD when we change the excel file (or prompt to) - I want the inserted excel file to take on the formatting of my table style (text style, size, etc. ) - I don't want the table to be editable in CAD.
I am currently working on a project where I am taking a lot of Autocad Attributes and Exporting them to an excel file so they can be referenced in a table of contents type of manner. My question is if there is a way to have excel automatically update the tables after changes are made to the autocad file. This file is an ever changing thing so going back and running through the entire "Eattext" command and re exporting and overwriting the existing file is very tiresome, especially when I am adding and deleting attributes daily. Is there a VBA program I can run to accomplish this task, I have fairly limited VBA skills and haven't written in VBA for years. I am fairly new to exporting autocad attributes to excel . I attached a very simplistic example of the general Idea of what I am trying to accomplish.
When I try to attach a 2013 Excel file into a 2014 drawing I get a message 'You have selected an unsupported DGN File. Only V7 and V8 files are supported.' Cannot attache through the Import command either. I know in past versions you could insert the file and any changes made to the file appeared to the attachment in the drawing.
Is this no longer possible? Surely not, it is way to handy. What am I overlooking to make this happen?
Any way to create a dynamic link between the property set attached to a space and excel?
I have a lots of spaces that has a property set attached, some of this property changes often. So if it was possible to create a excel sheet that presents each property for each space and then I could change the property in excel and put it back to Architecture it would save me a lot of time.
I know that if I use IMPORTOBJ I can import an excel file....but the file is multiple pages (within the same workbook page). Is there a way to bring that in withought breaking up the Excel file into mulitple files?
I inherited a document (yes, you heard correctly) that was designed in Adobe Illustrator (I have the CC version). This is a 10 page document with a lot of text and fake tables. Why the original author used AI for this document but now, I wish to convert this document into a more appropriate tool.
I don't know, perhaps I shouldn't be surprized that AI doesn't have much in the way of text based exports (except PDF and pure text)... PDF isn't ideal because it outputs blocks that are out of order, making it difficult to copy and paste into another editor.
Ideally, my preference is either HTML, MS Word, FrameMaker, Robohelp, CHM, or Dita. Is there a super-secret method to export an AI document into one of those formats?
I have assembly with over 100 sub assemblies. I need to export the COG for each sub assembly to excel. The COG must be in relation to the parent assembly's origin point.
I can get coordinates manualy (right click on sub assembly - iProperties-Phisical), but it is take a lots of time.

i've been asked to provide a way for some cad employees to update via an export to an excel spreadsheet the latest area total for each room in the drawing. my assumption is the spreadsheet will already contain a column for room numbers from the drawing and a room area column.
so far i've found out how to iterate the drawing layers. what i have yet to figure out is how to capture the room area property on the layer so i can copy it into the excel cell that matches with the captured room number from the drawing. is there a way to access the geometry of the particular layer?
I created a program to export the Assembly BOM to Excel. I am running into a some strange behavior regarding Weldments and Inseparable assemblies. Here is a snippet of my
'Create BOM Object Dim oBom As Inventor.BOM oBom = oAssyDoc.ComponentDefinition.BOM oBom.StructuredViewEnabled = True oBom.StructuredViewDelimiter = "." [code].......
'This is where I put my code to export and write the file.
Next
I run into the issue of the items inside a Weldmant assembly is not being exported. Yet I am able to create a structured multilevel partslist on my drawing showing all the items inside the Weldment.
Whats strange is that even if I change the Weldment assy’s BOM structure to Normal, it still does not make a difference. Is there a way to get the items of a Weldment into my BOM Rows object so that it will export? Whats strange is that if an assembly is set to “Inseparable” but is not a weldment then it exports the contents.
I have been asked to write a module that will export layer data from AutoCAD and put it in an Excel spreadsheet. The user wants to have this done through a macro. I am assuming that I need to create a dll that is called from inside AutoCAD but I am not sure.
They want to start with AutoCAD 2008 and once we get it working there we will convert it to 2011 or 2012.
First of all, I can not find the 2008 API and second of all I'm not sure where to start. I am very experienced at programming. We are going to use VB.NET.
I am trying to export some data from my BOM. I require the part names, quantities and lengths. I have followed a previous topic in these discussions which is now closed. it seems simple to follow but requires me to click on the export BOM icon in the top left of the browser. In my instance this is greyed out. D
