AutoCad 2D :: Datalink - Excel Not Installed Properly
Mar 25, 2013
So I just started at a new firm and they are using datalinks for the attic vent calculations. The table is in Excel and once filled out it should populate in the drawing. My CPU was an old employee's so it isn't new installed software but my datalink button says that Excel is not installed properly and will not let me edit the datalink in Autocad. I can however open the Excel file from the reference manager just fine and it opens. I have tried hard pathing and softpathing with no luck. Other people can insert it for me which they did in one file but I want to be operating at 100% like they are.

I have a table in Excel (well several tables actually) that I want to copy the contents from and insert into an AutoCad table. I don't want it as an OLE object (as I need to be able to edit it in AutoCad later if needed) and I don't want it as a datalink either, so what is the best way to do this?
I was trying to just copy the cells although kept getting all cells ending up in each row/column. I believe it is possible somehow as I am sure I have done it multiple times before although can't work out how to do it now.

Everytime I open up a new drawing an error pops up that there is (2) Xref that cant load. It seems to be the same (2) Excel files I have to go to the Datalink Manager and delete them. Is there any way to get in the Datalink Manager without opening a drawing to unlink these?

I am simply trying to insert an excel datalink into my drawing.
However once i complete the process using the datalink manager and click 'OK' nothing happens, i return to my model space window with nothing appearing.
I have checked my layers are on and check the extents...

I'm trying to import an excel table into AC as an AC entity with a datalink so I can update the excel file. However the AC entities import looks like a disaster! (see picture)
How can I import it in a way that will more accurately maintain more of the formatting of Excel? I'd rather not use the MS spreadsheet import because then it looks distractingly unnatural...
I imagine there isn't really a solid answer for what I'm trying to do, just looking for some tips and tricks to make it slip in a bit better

I had IT install our network version of IV 2012. That seemed to install flawlessly. I still have IV 2011 on my machine IV 2011 and will be running it for the time being.
My problem is when I try to get the iProperties I get this error. "Plugin not available or not properly installed. Notify the System Administrator that the installation is incomplete. DTCP"
We tried to repair/reinstall 2011 and then removed it and reinstalled, to no avail. I have not tried 2012 yet, as all our files need to be migrated to 2012.

on my IMAC 10.9.1 with Mavericks. I am very disappointed with Adobe as I paid for service warranty as well ($39) and I am scheduled for another call as the third team tries.Could this be a.s.a.p or should I write CEo Shantanu Narayen and express my displeasure or blog it?

I have yet another very unique issue that has not been mentioned anywhere else that I would like to bring to the discussion table. We have a very large project that involves several different areas of design. Each building has it's own set of cables that need to be pulled to the location so we have quite the extensive lists of cable schedule. All of this information is in a single Excel file which is datalinked into separate drawings. Every building has its own datalink.
For the sake of flexibility, we needed to centralize all the data into one excel file. We then use a macro to split up all the data by building. Each building is copied to its own worksheet (tab) in Excel. AutoCAD then datalinks to that worksheet using the option of "Use whole Worksheet" in the Datalink definitionDid I mention there are over 80 buildings? That means an Excel file with over 80 tabs.
So for every building package in AutoCAD, there is a separate drawing just for cable schedules which includes a table style that uses the datalink to this excel file. We replicate quickly by coping/pasting a template file, open it and go to datalink manager, and modify the datalink by changing the tab name in the drop down menu. Since we're linking the entire sheet, it's extremely convenient.
After adding in a lot of worksheets, AutoCAD takes about 10 minutes to open the Datalink Manager Editor to change the link from one tab name to another. I've tried getting rid of all but two tabs in the excel file (the current target and the one I want to change it to), but to no success. There is a direct correlation between the quantity of worksheets and the speed of getting the Datalink Editor open, but we're talking between 10-30 minutes. The excel file is only 1.3 MB. Any insight with the inner workings of the datalink manager?
I should also mention that just updating an existing datalink is not all that painful. It's usually about 5 seconds to bring in a full table's worth of data from the same excel file with ALL the tabs.

Recently I have been trying to build table driven products and ipart tables, but when I copy a member to create a new part number, upon exiting the iassembly author I get the following message "excel installation is required for this operation. failed to launch excel". I have a fully functional version of 2010 Excel installed which has been used so it should be recognized in the windows registry. I am running Windows 8 and Autodesk Inventor 2014.

I have AutoCAD 2013 and often "paste special" excel files that automatically update when the excel file changes.The problem I'm running into is I work with a person who has uses an older version of CAD 2004, so I always save to the older format for him.
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.

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?

How do we get rid of the warning message that pops up telling us that VBA is no longer installed. Since most us now are running 64 bit machines and have changed to .net programming. We do still use many Autolisp routines that work fine but give us that warning message anyway.

Unbelievingly AUTOCAD 2011 doesn't show version information and updates installed in About screen... and anywhere.
If it wasn't annoying enought... the commands _VERNUM and ACADVER are really useless considering they retrieve a code whitout meaning.
ACADVER = "18.1s (LMS Tech)" (read only)
_VERNUM = "E.208.0.0 (UNICODE)" (read only)
Then I ask: What is the way to know exactly what updates are installed in AutoCAD 2011 x64.

Ist it o.k. or recommneded to have both the 2012 and 2013 versions of AutoDesk Product Design Suite - Premium installed on the same computer? Our design engineers would like this so they can learn the new version while still using the old version, but I'm concerned about the two versions conflicting with each other on the same PC.

When I try to open the materials browser, a window opens that says "The AutoCAD Materials Library is not installed." Helpfile says it's included in the product. The texture maps search path in options is looking at the materials folder on the hard-drive. How do I load it without having to uninstall/reinstall autocad? Is the materials folder on my hard-drive no the materials library?

I had trouble installing the program on Windows 7 after aborting on the first try when an error message about a font issue appeared and I wanted to find out more info. It took four retries, rebooting and adjusting my security settings I have it installed as a trial version (I think), but when I try to launch the program it goes through the initiallization process each time and then shuts down just as it is launching. Do I uninstall and start again from scratch? I have experience in installing 2000LT and 2004LT on various computers over the years with out ever having an installation issue.

I am running AutoCad LT 2005 and have had no problems copying and pasting drawings into Word, and then double clicking to edit them if needed in AutoCad.
I have recently had DWG TrueView 2011 installed on my machine and it has taken over the associations with CAD drawings in a Word document, so that I cannot edit them.
how to change the associations back to AutoCad LT for CAD drawings in MS Word ?

I needed a specific Adobe font engraved on a nameplate.
I purchased and installed the font and it is available to me in other applications.
I went to use it within my sketch and it didn't display as being available.
Do I need to do something other than install the font on my machine to use it within my model?

I just installed AutoCAD 2013 under Windows 8
AutoCAD 2013 installed as expected but I can not run the Flash based introduction movies.
I am a new to AutoCAD, have never used to program before and would like to switching the "preferences" (which I can't find) to a better browser like Google Chrome.
Suggestion for Autodesk: Please dump IE in favor or propper browsers. IE has never and will never work properly.
In conclusion: How can I get the Flash videos to work. Where do I register the software?
Because of the above issues, I've installed AutoCAD 2013 on my iMac and everything is running as expected. I am more of a Linux/OS X user and have limited experience with Microsoft products.
