I would like to link an AutoCAD table to an Excel file with the first method described in this page:
[URL]
I know the filename of the Excel spreadsheet and the range as well.
Is there a way to make a script that links the table and then detach the link after that ?

I wasn't able to find out any information on what format the parameters are required to look like when passed along with the Method ExportAsFixedFormat.
I'm currently using the following code to change the active printer followed by the printout command
(vlax-put-property XL "ActivePrinter" "DocuCom PDF Driver on Ne03:")(vlax-invoke-method XLS "Printout")
where XL is my spreadsheet and XLS is the active worksheet. This works but the printer controls filename and location.
(vlax-invoke-method XLS "ExportAsFixedFormat"
I've found the ExportAsFixedFormat but can not find any documentation that shows how to format the parameters within LISP to send to Excel.
The object browser for VBA in Excel shows the following:
Sub ExportAsFixedFormat(Type As XlFixedFormatType, [Filename], [Quality], [IncludeDocProperties], [IgnorePrintAreas], [From], [To], [OpenAfterPublish], [FixedFormatExtClassPtr]) Member of Excel.Chart
I recording a macro and got the following that shows some additional information.
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _"C: est.pdf" _, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
Is there any documention showing what this looks like when using the vlax-invoke-method?

I'm trying to get an excel sheet to open and count cells based on the text inside a selected column then compare it to cad. The column says "red" or "green" and I want to compare it to a count of red and green hatches in cad.
I managed to get them to be counted in cad but I'm not sure how to get the excel part to work.
Note: I posted an earlier post thinking to count the actually color in the excel cells rather than the words but that ended up being quite complicated.

This probably isn't the correct discussion group but not sure where else to post this.
My sales department wants to be able to create drawings based on entries in selected in their Excel qouting tool. Basically, they want to configure a product in the field, and be able to show the customer the drawing with TrueView. (They don't have AutoCAD installed).
I would think the best I can do, is manipulate a .dxf file based on their selections but that may get very complicated.

I would like to get the cell with a specific name in Excel.
In Excel you can give a cell a custom name like "Project_Name".
How do I get the sheet and cell(row,column) of the cell with this custom name ?

We have a custom LISP program (Written, upadated in 2003) that takes a keyed in item number, opens and searches a .txt file with four coulmns, for the keyed in item number (column 1) and returns a part number (column 2), description (column 3) and any information in column 4.
Here is the Part of the cod in question:
(setq recx (open "H:/ACAD2012/alcocustm/LISP/hardware.txt" "r"))
(setq d "?")
(setq rec (read-line recx))
[Code]....
A quetsion was asked if the data in the .txt file could be put in an Excel file. I tried looking at other post, but I can't seem to find a clear cut way to open and extract the data. Or this old dog overlooked a boand. Is there a easy way to do this, similar to the above?

I'm dimensioning an old drawing with the real (measured) dimensions and with the drawing dimensions in brackets (using ' 1500 (<>)' to give '1500 (1505)' for example.
What I'd like is to also be able to put on the difference between the length I type in and the length in brackets - as this would let me see any really glaring errors that can't be attributed to user-error on the laser measure.So I could type in '1500 (<>) (X)' where X is the formula, and get ' 1500 (1505) (5)' back?
How to be able to run a script that could highlight any dimensions where the number is brackets and the typed number have a a difference of, say, 50.Or failing that, any way to extract all the dimension text at the end into excel so I can see the differences myself?

I don't have any clue how to connect to an excel file and read the data. Most seems to think you already had an understanding but I'm starting from the beginning.

Is this something that is possible? Basically I have an excel file with sample data that comes coded (red background for fail, Green for pass) Then we transfer that into halos on a DWG. got a routine to count the halos in a DWG. Now I was thinking it would be nice if it compared the number to the excel file to make sure no mistakes were made when placing the halos.
So as I mentioned I've seen rountines to read data in cells but none to count cells based on colour.

I got a new work and get it done in the next 2 days, but first I need to do this... from a text file (or excel file, I got both) I got 3 columns, 1 one for node number, and 2 other for X and Y coordinates for each node.
So from that file I need to insert into autocad the node numbers as text (using the current style and height) at the point specified by the other two columns, that are the X,Y coordinates which will be the insertion point of text..

I'm trying to set up an easy way to import layers from a certain dwt. file with a shortcut.
Now I found this code, which kind of works, but doesn't do the whole trick. It works with a Popup where I have to insert the dwt. file. It's also annoying that it opens this file than and I have to close it manually.
I would like to have this without any import options and automatically takes this one file always for the layers.
My file would be located here:
"I:AutoCAD BlöckeTemplate\__Bürostandard"
(defun c:IL (/ oAcad oCurDoc strFile oOpenDoc oOpenDocLayers lstObj oLayer array)
(setq oAcad (vlax-get-acad-object))
(setq oCurDoc (vla-get-ActiveDocument oAcad))
(setq strFile (getfiled "choose file:" (getvar "DWGPREFIX") "dwt" 0))

I am trying to export each sheet in an Excel file to an separateTXT files.
I currently have code to read each cell in a sheet, but unfortunately some of the Excel sheets have in excess of 5000 cells and it is taking too long to read. So I am switching to another method.
The program will check dates of TXT files and XLS file to make sure TXT files are current (if not, open and recreate TXT files).Then read the TXT files (much faster).
Where I am getting stuck is 2 places -
Get the names of each sheet in the excel file (not always a known name)
Save each sheet as separate TXT file.
Here is condensed code so far without error checking, etc -
(defun E2TXT (FileName /)
(if (and (setq XLfile (findfile FileName)) (vl-file-systime XLfile) (setq XLapp (vlax-get-or-create-object "Excel.Application")))
