Table styles / Data linked tables. In particular when re-syncing the table from excel, cells that should be merged become unmerged.
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 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 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?
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.

I was wondering if there was already a post as to how to not lose your fields when you download from source. I have a table that has fields from my sheet set with drawing names etc...but everytime I click download from source it converts the field to plain text.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've started using tables linked to excel files for drawing index on cover sheets. My problem is when I delete or add lines on my excel sheet it changes the format on some of the cells changing font size and justification on some cells of my table. The changes to my table seems random.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHere at the office we use a template I created using Data Extraction. After creating the table and inserting it, it works just fine. Then, if you make changes to the door or window you can click the "Download Changes From Source File" and it will update the table ... However, after saving it and trying to work on it the next day, it somehow unlinks the table I have in my drawing and I cannot "Download Changes From Source File" to update the table ... I checked under XREF and it shows it is loaded and I have it reading from the same path I saved it. I would like to know if there is a way to re-link the table to the .dxe file or how to prevent from it un-linking new tables?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have Acad 2011 and Excel 2010 on my computer. What I would like to do is to create a list of materials in my autocad that will update from an excel table. The only problem is my Acad Table needs only some materials from that large spread sheet. For example when I write in my Acad table a piece number(col A) I would like to have a description coming automatic from excel (in col.b).
There will be hundreds of drawings with tables taking data from the same excel table.
A large combined file in our GIS format corrupted. I dug out all the old files that were originally used to create it but they are too old and will not combine in the GIS.
I exported each one to SHP, and then imported all of them into civil 3d as shp files, creating object data. This meant that I could correct the corrupted sections, which I have done, but now I need to get it back into the GIS program with the object data intact.
The problem is that the object data, coming from several combined files, is in several tables. Each table contains the same identical fields. (eg every table has a field called drawing)
I need to combine those tables so that I can re-export the shape files. I need one table with all of the object data in it.
I have an Excel spreadsheet I am testing to see how to edit table data in Map 3D and see the changes back in Excel. I have created the .udl file from my Excel file, which AutoCAD stores way down in the Data Links folder. I attach the .udl file as a Data Source. It shows the named range and I can view the table but it is always Read Only. I checked the Access permissions under Properties and none of the boxes were checked. So I checked ReadWrite but I still can't edit the table.
Then I tried just attaching it as an FDO provider. It links and displays the table just fine, but when I perform an edit (which it allows), the whole program crashes out without a single warning. Like I never had Map open.
This may be a Windows 7 permissions thing but since Map won't let me change the folder location where I save the .udl file, I can't test this out by putting it in a folder I know I have full access to.
I have created a data extraction table based on attributes placed on blocks. The data table is in my layout and it includes part number, dimensions, and cost. What I need to do is total the cost of all the items at the bottom of my table. I added in a row for the total cost which is not linked to the table but when I try to add a field in that cell to sum the cells above it (the costs), I get ###. I already tried unlocking the cells, but that didn't do anything.
How can I add a field summing these costs?
I want to export data from AC3D to Excel; I've tried to do it with copying directly the tables I made, but it isn't text or number format.For example, I want to get the data from this table:
I know that with previous versions of autocad it could be done.In addition, I also want to get value table of the calculated cant of the "Cant Tabular Editor":How can I get a table of this data? I need it because I have a lot of curves and I want to do some verifications of the standars of my country.
Would you have a solution to accessing ODTables for a dwg object only loaded into memory? I have 1000+ dwgs that I want to return a string with the names of the various ODTable names for auding purposes that I would prefer to just side load rather than full load for performance reasons.
I'm attempting to use something like this (which works fine on an open drawing):
Public Function ReturnOBJData(acObjIDIn As ObjectId, intOffset As Integer) As String
'Don't forget that table is 0 based offset so....plan accordingly Dim strRet As String = ""
Dim acDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
Dim acDb As Database = acDoc.Database Dim acEd As Editor = acDoc.Editor
[Code] .......
In a fashion along the lines of
Public Function GetTables(strFileIn As String) As List(Of String)
Dim lstReturn As New List(Of String)
Dim acMapApp As MapApplication = HostMapApplicationServices.Application
Dim acActiveProject As Project.ProjectModel = acMapApp.ActiveProject
Dim acTableList As Tables = acActiveProject.ODTables Dim acTable As ObjectData.Table
[Code] ....
The problem is that I can't seem to link the ODTables object off of the memory database object. In this sample, the msgbox always returns a count of 0 where I would expect it to be in the range of 1-4.
I am trying to delete a few rows in both my pipe table and my structure table but the 'remove items' button doesn't work.

I decided to use Data Link Tables for my Excel sheet instead of OLELinks. The appearance is far sharper, and I am also pleased there is no background color transfered. What IS the problem is when I update the table, its goes from 12" Wide by 12" Tall table @ 7/16" Text W/O borders back to 3" Wide by 10" Tall with varying text size to fit and gains back all borders except diagonals (of which none are present on the Excel file).
So, any way to default the format when I refresh so that it holds each cell at the 6"X1" dimensions with no border.
With that, If there is a way to have a stencil for making the range links with Excel, that would be useful. I use the exact same 4 or 6 ranges (2 formats) in every dwg.
For some reason, I can't seem to find all the right steps in the right order to accomplish this. Maybe what I'm trying to do isn't possible.
Using either Map3D 2011 or Map3D 2007:
I have a database (SQL Server) and a drawing (.DWG) with object data fields. For simplicity, lets say the database field names match the object data field names. The key field in the object data is already filled in. I would like to link to the database so the rest of the object data fields are filled from the database. Is this possible? If so, how? The closest I have gotten so far is creating a link template and using mapod2ase, but that creates a separate set of Link Template fields instead of filling in the Object Data fields.
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.
I have 200,000 lines with some object data. LINKED to these lines is a database with some more information. Basically I want to export all of these lines to shape files, converting the information in the linked database to be the new object data. (This is for the client to view the lines on ArcGIS).
I have done this a few times in the past, but working with this volume of lines and data, Its taking an extremely long time.
My question is, could i use autolisp to quickly transfer the database data to object data before i export to shape files? or if there are any other options.
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
I have a complex data structure I want to be able to add to a Lightroom plugin. I know Lightroom uses a SQLite database. Can I add tables to that database from either inside a Lightroom plugin or externally? I see no documentation of any API capabilities granting direct queries of the SQLite database and as of now it's looking like the only technique I have at my disposal is to create my own homebrewed database system using the file system. I would like that not to be the case.

I linked a revit file of some renovations that had been done into an older revit file. This worked fine accept it did not transfer the room data over. When i try to put new rooms in they take the volume of the older rooms not the renovation imports. Why? Why? and why?
Even if I draw out the rooms when i place the room they are still separated and defined by the older room dimensions. Thats not cool that is sad?
My designer has created an Illustrator file on his Mac that has linked images. When he sends me the all the files and I open the ai file in Illustrator CC on my Windows PC, I need to re-link the images. One image can't be found at all.
However, if I open the file in CS4 it finds the linked files no problem.
Is this some bug in Illustrator CC for Windows?
I found an old thread from 2011 about the same problem and the mod reported it to the devs, but as far as I know no solution has ever been offered.(maybe in cs6? we are still using cs5)For one or two layers it's no problem to do it manually, but with say 40 layers with corresponding linked layers we need a better solution.
