AutoCAD Architecture :: Table From Data Link To Excel 2000 Cell Limit

May 5, 2011

I struggled for a while this morning with trying to data link to a large door schedule in Excel.  After several failures, I searched online for answers, and read in another forum that AutoCAD won't data link to more than 2000 cells. 

My door schedule is about 2050 cells now, and will be about 4000 when done.  I defined a set of about 1,000 cells in the Excel spreadsheet, and AutoCAD linked to it no problem.  So, I tend to believe the poster who stated the 2000 cell limit, but I can't find this.

AutoCAD LT :: Import Excel Table Via Data Link Function

Apr 26, 2011

we recently were trying to import an excel table via data link function. Initially this works fine and the table appears in the drawing however when we want to break the link by deleting it in the data link table autocad tells me that the link is in use. We routinely do this in autocad mechanical 2010. The reason we do this is to be able to bring in the table and preserve formatting. How can we easily delete the data link in 2010 LT?

AutoCad :: Remove Excel Link But Keep Table (Embed Excel Table)

Feb 13, 2012

We have a whole bunch of spreadsheets that we use for calculations and parts of those spreadsheets are linked to a ton of CAD Drawings via data links.

We would like to be able to deliver the CAD drawings to the client without having to send our calculation books (just the output tables). In other words, is it possible to embed the table data and remove the excel link for the final delivery?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Data Link Table Repeatedly Loses Formatting Upon Closing And Opening File

Mar 19, 2012

I am repeatedly running into the same problem of a data linked table losing its formatting upon closing and opening the file. 

Each time this happens, I am forced to enter the properties tab and return the height of the text and the height of the cell to the size that it had originally been. Is there an option that I have not seen? What is continuously causing this error?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Embed Data In Table So That User Can Select From Group Of Data Within One Cell?

Oct 24, 2013

Is it possible to embedd data in a table so that a user can select from a group of data within one cell?

I use this technique quite often in Excel.  One cell in a table can have various values: A, B, C, or D.  While another cell can have a different set of values to choose from:  BLUE, RED, ORANGE, or PURPLE.  The user can pull down an arrow (similar to a dynamic block) and choose from a set list of values.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Cell Borders In Table Driven By Excel?

May 18, 2012

I am using a link to an .xls worksheet to populate a General Table in my .idw (Inventor 2012).  See attached.  The blank space underneath the first lines of information will always be blank, no matter how many rows we get.  Is there a way to have the drawing hide the blank/empty cells, make the borders invisible, etc? 

I have tried using the Insert Object for an Excel file instead of using the Table feature, but it does not appear to be an updatable link.  As in, if I change data in my .xls file, it won't update the inserted object to the same info.

AutoCAD LT :: Data Link Manager Can't Delete Excel Link

Dec 26, 2011

I'm messing around with tables and data links, practicing. I copied a range of cells in Excel, and did paste special to create a linked table.

Now I can delete the table object, but I cannot delete the link, cannot detach it.

When in Data Manager if I right click on the data link and click delete I get the error message "The data link is being used and cannot be deleted".

I have tried detaching, and the detach does not seem to take.

Now also, the table will not update from the source xls.

Win XP, AcadLT 2011, Office 2010. Using compatible setting for saving spreadsheet, for Office 2007 (not xlsx).

If I create a linked table by starting with the Table icon, choose "from a data link", choose the excel spreadsheet, etc., then I am able to later update the table from the spreadsheet, detach, delete the link, etc. But I can only delete the link if the table is not selected when I open the Data Link Manager.

But the one that was created following the directions from the Autocad video, with the copy, paste special, that link will not detach nor delete.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Excel Data Link

Nov 1, 2012

When 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?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Data Link Excel Sheet

Dec 23, 2013

I have made a data link to an excel file. Then I bring it in as a table. I then adjust the text height and remove all formatting from the table. Unfortunately, after closing and re-opening the file, the table changes. I lose formating/cell alignment/text height. It isn't even consistent across the table. The lost formatting is only on the 2nd split of the table, the first side retains the corrected formatting. I have selected the option to not update excel formatting. I don't even get a notification the table is updating. There haven't been any changes to the excel sheet either....

AutoCAD 2010 :: Data Link Table Does Not Insert Into DWG

Nov 23, 2011

I 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.

AutoCad :: How To Completely Delete Table Data Link

Jun 2, 2010

Using AutoCAD 2010 LT with service pack 1 and 2

I created a link to an Excel file to create a table. Before I ETransmit the AutoCAD file (along with many other files) I want to remove the link so that the table is embedded with no need for the external file. When I have somebody who doesn't have the linked file on their machine open the file they get a "missing external file" message" despite the fact that I ran the detach data link command and have purge selected in the ETransmit setup. The table shows up with the data, but I want to eliminate the nag pop up about the missing file. I know you can click the ignore button, but I don't want our customer to have to bother with it.

Any way to save a list of files for ETransmit like you do in a .dsd file for batch plotting?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Linked Excel Table

Mar 15, 2012

How to insert a linked excel table into my drawing, however I have not figured out how to add rows to the table, the option is greyed out.  I can insert rows above and below the (inserted) table but not anywhere in the middle.

I've tried everything I can think of, even removing all the formatting in the .xls spreadsheet to no avail.  The cells are unlocked, I can manipulate the data, but not being able to insert rows is really hindering the efficiency of using a data linked table.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Data Link Is Changing Table Style?

Mar 16, 2012

I have created a table style in ACAD 2012 with all of the cells formatted to what I need.  The trouble begins when I bring in a BIAS excel data link to populate the table.  I have tried every option in the insert table steps and have even tried all the different options under the modify excel link options.  I have toggled the use excel formatting on and off, which does change the table size a small bit, but does not allow the table style to take affect.

I have attached a screen shot of the "good" and "bad" tables.  The bad table is what the good table comes in as and it is also what happens everytime the table link updates.  It always reverts back to the bad style and then I have to change the table back to the good one by hand - changing each column individually.

Is there a way to attach a data link to a table with the table style holding its shape and formatting?

This happens on all of my drawings and using all kinds of different excel links.

how to bring in the data link??

AutoCAD 2010 :: Data Linked Excel Table Formatting?

Sep 9, 2011

I recently decided to see how the AutoCAD tables work. I was very happy to learn you could link your Excel spreadsheets with CAD. But now I have a problem.

After inserting the table it refuses to use the table style I have set up. The fonts do not want to change at all. I can change the colour of the text, but not the font.

PS: Using AutoCAD 2011

AutoCAD Architecture :: Dynamic Link Between Property Set Definitions And Excel

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.

Illustrator :: Is It Possible To Link Excel Data To Graph

May 14, 2013

I'm laying out a report with many graphs of similar styling, the client is to provide an Excel doc with the figures and I need to redraw them as graphs.Is it possible to design the graph style in Illustrator, import the data from the spreadsheet to the graph and then place the graph(s) into InDesign. Essentially, this is what I'd like to achieve:
 
1) Style/design a graph in Illustrator
2) Import spreadsheet data into Illustrator graph (a step I'm also haveing problem with - is it possible to import an entire Excel doc or do you have to copy and paste each cell individually)
3) Import Illustrator graph into Indesign
4) If original data in Excel is changed/updated and the document is saved, data will update in Illstrator and therefore in InDesign.

I have an issue between XP 32 bit ACAD 2011 workstations and Windows 7 64 bit ACAD 2011 workstations...

2 - various win7 and XP users make changes to the Excel worksheet directly in Excel

3 - Win7 users open the DWG to see the correct and updated Excel data in the DWG

4 - XP users open the same DWG to see OLD data from a previous save and not the correct updated data on the linked worksheet

5 - XP users directly open the Excel file in Excel and are able to view the correct updated data BUT NOT IN THE DWG

6 - XP users see old incorrect excel worksheet data in the DWG. Win7 users see the correct data in the DWG.

AutoCad :: Data Link Table - File Address Won't Stay In Place Have To Reload Location Again

May 10, 2012

So I just upgraded to MEP 2013 last week and am in a bad situation where when I keep making my data link tables to a range on an excel table the file name's full address is not staying when I go to insert the table.

(ex. D:/Documents/JB Plans/NK.xlsm is just NK.xlsm when I try to insert the table)

Does some defaulting or setting that I haven't found involving this issue?
