AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Linked Excel Table

Mar 15, 2012

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Data Linked Excel Table Formatting?

Sep 9, 2011

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

AutoCAD LT :: Import Excel Table Via Data Link Function

Apr 26, 2011

we recently were trying to import an excel table via data link function. Initially this works fine and the table appears in the drawing however when we want to break the link by deleting it in the data link table autocad tells me that the link is in use. We routinely do this in autocad mechanical 2010. The reason we do this is to be able to bring in the table and preserve formatting. How can we easily delete the data link in 2010 LT?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Table From Data Link To Excel 2000 Cell Limit

May 5, 2011

I struggled for a while this morning with trying to data link to a large door schedule in Excel.  After several failures, I searched online for answers, and read in another forum that AutoCAD won't data link to more than 2000 cells. 

My door schedule is about 2050 cells now, and will be about 4000 when done.  I defined a set of about 1,000 cells in the Excel spreadsheet, and AutoCAD linked to it no problem.  So, I tend to believe the poster who stated the 2000 cell limit, but I can't find this.

AutoCad :: Remove Excel Link But Keep Table (Embed Excel Table)

Feb 13, 2012

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?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Explode Excel Table But Keep Table-layout And Texts

Mar 14, 2013

In our company, we put Excel tables in our drawings. The reason we've chosen for Excel-tables is that we can adjust the layout of the table quite easily. These tables consist of grouped cells in a particular company-specific layout. We select the range of the desired cells, copy and paste them in our AutoCAD drawing. This drawing is sent to our customers. The disadvantage of this method is, that when our customers (who use CAD-software of other brands) open the dwg, they don't see the table, but some kind of picture of the table.

Is there a way to 'explode' the excel-table, but keep the specific layout of the table? For attributes in blocks there's the 'Explode Attributes'-command in the Express-tools, but is there something similar for Excel-tables?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Embed Data In Table So That User Can Select From Group Of Data Within One Cell?

Oct 24, 2013

Is it possible to embedd data in a table so that a user can select from a group of data within one cell?

I use this technique quite often in Excel.  One cell in a table can have various values: A, B, C, or D.  While another cell can have a different set of values to choose from:  BLUE, RED, ORANGE, or PURPLE.  The user can pull down an arrow (similar to a dynamic block) and choose from a set list of values.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Launching Excel From OLE Table

Oct 13, 2012

I use an embedded excel file I a lot of my drawings. 90% of the time a double click opens excel for editing with no problem.  But every so often I get a stubborn one that just will not open.  It will select and the quick properties box will appear and then the properties box, but nor firing up of Excel.  Usually if I am persistent I can get it to work, but I have one right now that is more stubborn than I am.

AutoCad :: Excel Table Not Printing Correctly

Jun 29, 2011

I would copy the excel table that I need, go to AutoCAD 2010 and use PASTESPEC , then choose AutoCAD entities. After I resize it and whatnot, I would then print it.

For some reason, the first row wouldn't print correctly. Sometimes the words get cut off or it doesn't show at all. If I were to move my drawing up to that portion of the paper, the drawing appears fine.

So that rules out a printer alignment issue, is it the excel table itself? Fonts and font color are standard across the table, so I'm baffled by this little problem.

Any better way to copy an excel table into a CAD file? The method I use will end up having the table appearing as a small, miniscule table, I always have to drag it up to resize and change the font size etc. etc.I'm guessing I have to set a default annotation scale for it?

AutoCad :: Copy From Excel To Table (without Using DataLink)

Jul 9, 2012

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.

AutoCAD LT :: Excel / Table Font Size Correlation?

Apr 11, 2012

Is there a correlation between the font size I use in an Excel spread sheet & the font size on the imported table on the drawing?  My spread sheet font size is 8 point.  I seem to recall that a point is 1/72" so my 8 point text should be 0.111" high on the drawing.  When I import the table I get text that is 0.0556" high - looks like half the height of my spread sheet text.  I tried doubling the spread sheet text to 16 point hoping it would end up half size on my drawing (0.111") but this time it is 0.125" high.  The scaling of imported table text is inconsistent.  I know I can change the properties of the drawing table to get what I want but it would be easier if there was a fixed relationship between Excel & AutoCAD table text height.

AutoCAD VB :: Changing Hatch Colors By Excel Table?

Apr 3, 2013

I want to make a map with 16 different plots (A1 to D4) in AutoCAD. Every plot in this map is connected to an excel file, where is some information listed (area, height, year, type) per plot. This map need to be dynamic, so by chosing what to see (for instance: area), the color of the parcels needs to change according to the value per plot (for instance: 12 m2 = yellow, 24 m2  = orange, 48 m2 = red). The two files I am using are send with it.

how to program this in VBA in AutoCAD. The shape of the plots I want to draw on my own (hatching each plot is also no problem), and somehow I need to name each plot (hatch). But how can I name the plots (hatches) and change the colour per plot (hatch) in VBA? The files I am using have 1600 different plots.

AutoCAD LT :: Paste Range Of Cells From Excel Into 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.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Excel Table Named Range?

Oct 24, 2013

I am trying to insert an excel table using a datalink. If I insert the entire sheet, it includes too many cells. If I set a print area and choose that area, it will not insert the table. The first time it acts like it is going to work, but then never lets me place the table. The second attempt it just will not let me select that data link. If I actually name a group of cells, I get the same behavior as the print area. Have issues with importing excel tables? Am I missing a step?

My work flow is

Create an excel sheet & format the table.

Select desired sells, set print area.

Save & Close excel

go to annotate tab in civil 3d

select table icon

choose from data link

launch data link manager

create data link and choose range of cells as print area.

Press OK

it never let me choose insert point.

I have also tried to simply make the datalink and then run the table command with the same results.
