Can you take text from a drawing and export it out to excel? My thoughts are room numbers, employee names, department names, etc.
I need an excel spreadsheet showing this information to then upload to my CAFM Application? Is there an alternative to obtaining a report from a drawing?
I would like an VB application that from within autocad can open an excel file,from there select 2 columns containing x,y co-ordinates. Which when selected will draw a polyline in the acad drawing.
I usually do this the long way, but it seems I'm doing it more and more so would like to have it fairly automated.New to VBA and stuck at even opening the excel file....nevermind the actual selecting columns and drawing of the polyline!!!
I want to link Microsoft Excel data with AutoCAD drawing (like dimension or values). When I made some changes in Excel data, value in AutoCAD drawing can be changes automatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn a machine shop environment, the current practice is for an admin person to review the drawing, then take down all dimensions and enter them manually into Excel. Is there an easier way to export data to Excel so that I can have the dimension reports rather than doing them manually. The second question is on the ability to save the document as a .pdf, although I think this is possible.

- any update to value column should immediatly change (after save and close worksheet?) parameters in inventor ?

I am having a problem with my table that I insert from excel into ACAD 2010. The Data in excel is on automatic color and arial text, once imported into ACAD as ACAD entities the data in my table does not want to change to being bylayer as the cell type is set to but instead stays on white. The only way I can change the color is by entering the cell and changing it manually to bylayer.

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.
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?
Seems like i export the data of thickness, diameter, lenght and mass to excel via dataextraction, but if i change something in the drawing, its not updated in the excel file..

I am trying to create multiple block missing in our database, actually i have all the measurement of the fitting inside excel this is mostly elbow and T fitting.
I was thinking of a dynamic block with editable lenght (strech parameter with a mix of constraint). but before digging too deep in a wrong direction i want to ask community if something similar already exist?
If it is possible to plot points (or a PLine, or a mesh) in AutoCAD from a table of values in EXCEL (columns of x,y,z coordinates).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have some soil boring data captured, in the field, to an Excel spreadsheet; basically, a bore site ID and coordinates.
I'd like to be able to have the coordinate attributes of blocks inserted into my bore site plans populate automatically, perhaps based off of the value of a bore site ID attribute which is manually entered for each bore site.
Alternatively, if there were a way to insert the bore site blocks based off the actual Excel records, populating all attributes and locating the block by the actual X,Y,Z coordinate, that might be even better.

Just trying to bring in a Volumes Dashboard report from IE10 to Excel 2010 (it all worked fine until I my PC was upgraded from IE9/Excel 2007)
When the report is in IE10, I Select All and paste to Excel (as I always have done) and the numbers are not recognised as numbers (there is no convert text to numbers prompt) and seem to have a leading space which Find/Replace can't find and replace.
If I right click in IE10 and Export to Excel, most of the exported data has a weird character preceding it (but which can be found and replaced). What this character is and how to stop it appearing?

I am trying to export what looks like a table of text to Excel. The problem I have is the table is not an actual TABLE within AutoCAD but rather just columns of text with lines drawn around it. How I can grab this text and then put it into an Excel Spreadsheet.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 was trying to export my alignment, at certain intervals, to excel (or text) as xyz data. I tried searching and found... Alignment to xyz
But it didn't really work. I can export the XY but not the Z in the report manager.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI´m having a couple of problems with getting data correctly from an Excel Sheet. I´m using the Excel Sheet to get Data for the Stock Number based on geometry.
First time the Excel File get´s opened it always cannot find the first sheet. I´m using a german Version and Sheet1 is Tabelle1 in german.
It always searches for sheet1 the first time the script runs on a new derived assembly. The second time (on second part) it correctly finds Tabelle1 and reads the correct value.Here is the code I´m using:
[code]
myXLS = "K:IdentNr.xls"
GoExcel.Open(myXLS)
i = GoExcel.FindRow(myXLS, "Tabelle1", "Stärke", "=", Stärke, "Material", "=", iProperties.Material)
IdentNr = GoExcel.CurrentRowValue("IdentNr")
iProperties.Value("Custom", "IdentNr") = IdentNr
[code]
And there is another issue which I have solved already but still gives me a bit of a headache. When the userdefined property IdentNr gets written into the part it always defaults to a numerical value, which means that I always get a comma at the end of the Stock Number.
Only when I define IdentNr like this:
Dim IdentNr As String
the format is correctly set to Text.I expected that when you read a value from an Excel Cell that the Format of the Cell gives the format of the user defined property. Is that not correct?
I enter data into an Excel job setup worksheet. I then want to be able to extract data from given cells in the Excel worksheet, and have this become fields in AutoCAD. I do not want to use a table in AutoCAD - I want (ideally) to have the Excel data come in to AutoCAD as a field. I can see that Data Links tends to come in only to a table in AutoCAD.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new issue that I am unsure what to do about.
This has never occurred with previous version of ACAD and this is the first time I created data links with Autocad 2012, and I am using the same procedure that I have successfully used in the past.
I have data tables linked to excel spreadsheets. I used the "TABLE" button on the ANNOTATE ribbon to place the table, and the layout of the cells assumes the layout of the excel spreadsheet, which is what I want.
As long as I don't Scale the table, I can Update the data table links just fine.
However when I scale the table and then update table links, the table layout changes drastically, and is undesirable.
I have tried locking the cells' but that will not fix the problem.
I want to keep the layout of the table that is assumed when I place the table originally. Is there any way to lock it as such?
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.
