I've created the attached table (used as legend in drawing, to point out revisions).
Cells in second column from the left are set as data dd/MM/yyyy, so when I change revision I write current data and it give correct format.
The problem is that every time I change layout and come back (or every time I open the drawing), data in empty cells were set to 01/01/1970...but I want them empty.
If I clean them, I clean also the data format.
I have this table that's reading my table style. All cell formatting is set to General and middle center justification.
When I type in a number the formatting automatically changes from General to Whole Number and upper right justification. When I type in letters everything it fine.
Why using numbers changes the formatting? In the textstyle I have changed the cell formatting to Text but that doesn't work. If I select the table, right click and choose Remove Overrides it moves the numbers to Middle Center as set in the style.
How do you format cells in a table to show numbers as 3-digit decimals? I've tried this...
myTable.Cells(r, c).DataFormat = "#0.000" ' this does not work.
Is there more to it than this?
when i create a data link with excell, the data link contains pages of unused cells. how do i controll the data link and have it show only the cells desired.

i have unchecked excel formatting, as i am using table styles used in autocad, i did try getting it to work starting with excel formatting, but couldn't get styles consistent, and text was much fainter.
As it is now the tables are working well except for the merged cells!
I have been using a lisp routine to strip formatting from a linked excel sheet. (stripmtextV5) .When I try and run it on a sheet today it says some cells are locked. I've changed the cell format in the excel file to unlocked. I have unlocked the cells in the linked table. Yet it still says that some cells are locked...I have even picked in each cell to verify each one is unlocked.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was almost sure it was an easy task but I cannot find a way to format numbers in a table cell. All I want to do is to use the DECIMAL alignement in table cells containing prices.
But it works only when the number are specified in the format ####,00. If you need a number like #.###,00 you have to insert a dot in the numbe and Boooom Ventura (correctly) treats it as text .
So, my question is: is there a way to type 1000,00 and get 1.000,00 correctly decimally aligned? Here is what I'm trying to get (fixed width font):
10,00
100,00

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe've recently upgraded a large project from Civil 3D 2012 to Civil 3D 2014 and for the most part things have migrated well.
On this project as well as others that have been migrated, I've been noticing this and similar messages re: modified in a previous version when the dref's synchronize:
"FG-STREET A was modified in a previous version of the software. Changes in the current were overwritten when the data reference was synchronized."
The steps we used for converting this project in order are:
Set Data shortcuts working folder.
Migrate Survey Database.
Open/save base drawing containing survey & EG surface.
Open/save all C3d source dwgs before opening any plan sheets.
Open/save all C3d plan sheets.
Because of the warning message I thought I'd try the "Migrating Data Shortcuts" following the instructions.
Use the stand-alone Data Shortcuts Editor to save one or more data shortcuts to a specified folder. If the shortcuts were created with a previous version of AutoCAD Civil 3D, they will be updated to the current format in this process.
When following the steps in the Data Shortcuts Editor, when I get to step 5, select the folder & choose Saveas, I see the following message that they will be saved in 2009 format?
Isn't that a downgrade? How these modified in a previous version messages?
I'm still trying to figure out if they are a benign message or if they are something I should be concerned with. 95% of the shortcuts on the project sync normally & seem to work fine other than an occasional disappearing profile in the sheet profiles.

I had a bit of a search around the net and what I found mostly said it can't be done natively in AutoCad although I thought I might as well ask anyway.
I want to link individual mtext objects in AutoCad to cell contents in an Excel file (like a datalink for a table, but I can't use a table in this instance). Any thoughts?
If it is not possible it is not a huge deal although hopefully the design doesn't change in the future as it will be a pain to update all these manually
While in my AutoCad drawing, I need to be able to select cells in an Excel database and use them as variables to create a drawing.

I'm trying to make a BOM using a Table. I want to be able to export. I cannot seem to keep the formatting in the length column. I would like it to read feet & inches (example 5'-4 1/2"). These lengths will change often during the design process. The problem I'm having is when I clear the cell contents or delete the information the formatting does not stick. I've tried locking the cell format but that doesn't seem to work. I've attached a file with the table.

I simply want to paste a series of cells from excel into an existing autocad table. About 8 rows, 1 column thick. I want the values to acquire the destination formatting too if possible. I do not want to create an OLE object or anything fancy. I have seen instructions to use "Paste Special" on forums, but I do not have this choice when I right-click. I'm sure this is possible.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of assisting a client implement Civil 3D into their work environment. Up to this point they have been MicroStation users. They have now seen the power of Civil 3D and are making the move. However, they're not yet Civil 3D experts and they still have some projects in MicroStation that need to be completed.
So in a project in MicroStation they are trying to place a pattern (similar to a hatch pattern in ACAD) into an area but the software has stopped looking for the MicroStation cell file (I believe that's what it's called) and has now started looking for the AutoCAD acad.pat file. This has only started happening on any computer that has Civil 3D installed.
Where that search path is located within MicroStation so I can reset it? Until this is resolved they've halted further installs of Civil 3D.
We 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.
I've started having problems when trying to edit text in table cells. Sometimes I double click and all is ok. Sometimes it wont let me select anything in the cell. Sometimes I have to select the cell, then right click to edit text. I get this message:

I have two tables in a drawing one of the tables has all my info and formulas. The second table has cells that are linked to the first table cell content. All works great except I need to add rows to the table with the linked cells. When I add the row this causes the row number to change. I have tried using the $ like you do in excel but that has no effect. I do not want to link my tables to an excel spread sheet because we use VAULT as our storage and it is really finicky when checking in drawings or checking out drawings.
