AutoCAD 2013 :: Export BOM Data To Excel Spreadsheet?

Oct 9, 2012

I need to find a way to export my BOM data to an Excel spreadhseet. Some of my BOM's are in tables, most are not. I found a lisp routine that will export this data to a csv file, but it's clunky at best. I don't want to use the "ole" method, I don't feel like fighting that battle.

So outside of plotting to a "png", and pasting that into Excel, are there any other options that are feasible?

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Read Real Number Data From Selected Columns In Excel Spreadsheet

Oct 27, 2013

Problem:

How to read real number data from selected columns in an Excel spreadsheet into an illustrator javascript array variable, so that then I can use this information to construct an illustrator polygon. 
 
Further information:

I am new to javascript (and not much of a programmer in the best case, but do have some basic knowledge using ancient languages like FORTRAN 88). I am sure I am just missing an important step here despite all morning browsing with Google for answers (something to do with variable definition I assume?). I have some survey data defining the outline of features in map view listed in a string of point (x,y) values in adjacent columns in excel (these x,y point values calculated from GPS data using a commercial program to converted 3D position to a 2D x,y by geoid projection, and then in excel to re-scale point locations to illustrator’s artboard).  What I am trying to do is select columns of x,y value pairs in an excel spreadsheet, copy these values to the clipboard, and then develop an IA JavaScript to draw a polygon through the specified set of x,y points. It seems easy enough to script illustrator to draw the polygon once I get the values from the clipboard are in a javascript array (lots a good tips here [URL] ....), but pulling in the clipboard data seems to be beyond me. I have tried populating a defined array with various combinations of array declarations and app.paste(); or windows.clipboardData.getData('text/plain'); with no satisfaction. I then had the idea to try to pull in the clipboard to one long continuous string, place that in a text box (see see its structure), andthen read and split up the text in a loop to populate the JavaScript array…but that deposited a complex illustrator table object into my text box, and several attempts to force the clipboard to paste text did not work (again probably having problems understanding variable type declaration).
 
I would be happy to find any method of scripting the pull of the selected on an excel spreadsheet for use in an Illustrator script…so if I am making this all harder than it needs, be I would be grateful to know that also!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Insert IDW Into Excel Spreadsheet

Feb 15, 2012

Trying to figure out the best method to insert an IDW into an Excel spreadsheet without sacrificing quality. I have tried several methods to go straight from Inventor(2012) to Excel(2010) using print PDF at press quality, export JPEG, and even the snipping tool as a last ditch effort all of which inevitably loose all line quality when inserted to Excel.

I have only had success bringing a PDF from Inventor into Adobe InDesign where I am able to mimic the design of my Excel spreadsheet and create an additional PDF to include with the Excel document. It seems like there would be an easier way for Inventor and Excel to work together without sacrificing quality or adding additional steps.

AutoCad 2D :: Import Excel Spreadsheet Into Drawing

If it's possible to import Excel spreadsheets into my drawing, instead of using the tables? (Using AutoCAD LT 2014)

I guess technically it would be easiest if I could import LibreOffice Calc spreadsheets, but I can get access to Excel easily enough if it's the only option.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Printing Excel Spreadsheet Inserted Into DWG

Jan 27, 2012

Using AutoCAD 2010, and I'm having problems printing with one dwg, that I've had to copy an Excel Spreadsheet into.  The spreadsheet was created with Excel 2007, and has quite a bit of text in it, and I'm trying to print it on an E size sheet, to an HP Designjet 4000.  AutoCAD hangs up each time I try to print this, and my computer gets a message indicating that I'm low on disk space, even tho I do have plenty of space.  It's like Autocad is taking more resources than it normally should. How I can insert this spreadsheet into AutoCAD and be able to print it? I've inserted the spreadsheet in model space, and the titleblock/border is in paperspace. I've tried printing to pdf and exporting to other formats to see if that will work, but AutoCAD keeps hanging up.  Any other AutoCAD dwg works fine to print to the printer.  It's just this one file with a spreadsheet inserted into it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Excel Spreadsheet In Design Accelerator?

Nov 15, 2012

I am working on a gearbox design that requires multiple iterations on the shaft dimensins and other parts, so linking  the dimiensinos to a spreadsheet would make this easier. However, I'm using the design accelerator for the shaft and other components and I cannot find any information on how to connect the dimensions I enter in that design accelerator to a speadsheet. 

I know how to link to a spreadsheet for a regular component, but haven't used that much.

Photoshop :: Pattern Fill Of Varying Density

Dec 16, 2005

i'm using PS CS and I want to fill a selection with a pattern but i'd like to simulate a light source.. so i'd like the pattern to fill with a varying density -- like stippling..or cross-hatching. i'm doing a 2-color (black and white only) t-shirt design so i can't have any gradations of colour. this may be a loaded question.. so i'm just hoping to get pointed in the right direction. if u need me to be more specific let me know.

Would illustrator be better suited for this task because i also have access to ai cs. even if not.. can someone recommend a good illustrator forum that is comparable to this mb? and maybe for Flash too.

AutoCad :: 2010 And Creating Tables And Linking To Excel Spreadsheet

Jul 9, 2012

I've previously used Autocad 2008 Electrical. I've just started a new job and I have been asked to update some electrical drawings from a recent project. My current employer use Autocad 2010 as opposed to Autocad Electrical which I have previously used.

The problem I have is that I have a drawing with a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet that displays an I/O table.

Since the drawings have changed the amount I/O has increased.

I have a new excel sheet with the new I/O list which is larger than the old I/O list.

When I "point" the Table to look at the new spreadsheet in the "Modify Excel Link" Dialogue and alter the "Link to Range" Tab to my new desired excel sheet and apply the changes the table. The new excel sheet populates the table correctly until the end of the old table used to stop then the format goes all to hell and the new part of the table is way out of scale and at 90 degrees out to the original table.

I think I am possibly missing a step somehwere when updating the Data Table Links!?!?....Do I need to alter the table properties somewhere too?.

AutoCad :: Saving Part As Copy That Uses Excel Spreadsheet (Inventor)

May 12, 2012

I created a spreadsheet of about 40 rows to be used to create different parts. I then created a part "we'll call it Board_A". I linked to the spreadsheet and used 3 of the fields for my dimensions. Lets say I named the length (which was the extrusion number) as "Len_1". I saved it and all is well!! I then created other parts and used the spreadsheet for the dims. I then went back and opened "Board_A" and saved a copy as "Board_B". I closed Board_A and opened Board_B. I then rt clicked on "Extrusion" so I could change the length from "Len_1" to "Len_1_A" which is another row (field) on that same spreadsheet which is still linked. When I tried I received a message that said I couldn't do that (I forgot the actual message!) I clicked the Parameter icon and the only fields showing on the popup spreadsheet box were the ones I had previously used for those parts that I made from scratch. I thought I figured this out once but if I did I forgot. I deleted the spreadsheet link and then re-added it but nothing I have tried has worked. Is there a way to get these fields to be usable with a Copy of an existing part or do I just have to start from scratch and make the similar part?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Replace Or Refresh Embedded Excel Spreadsheet

Sep 20, 2013

For Creating my own templates i want to use iLogic and embedded Excel-Spreadsheets. The embedded Sheet has its own data, but i want to create a rule to refresh the data from an external Excelsheet.

For now i use the following rule:
 
For I = 65 To 90 '65=A 90=ZBuchstabe = Chr(I) GoExcel.CellValues("3rd Party:Embedding 1", "Platte", Buchstabe & "1", Buchstabe & "999") = GoExcel.CellValues("G:KonstruktionVorlagenMaterialgrunddaten.xlsx", "Platte", Buchstabe & "1", Buchstabe & "A999")Next I

it works well, but wont insert a new single-sheet or refresh formats, i have to add the same code for each sheet. And its REALLY slow.

Is there a possibility to refresh or replace the whole embedded file via a simple iLogic-rule?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Update Block Attributes In Drawing From Excel Spreadsheet

Oct 15, 2012

I have a basic floor plan in AutoCAD 2012 that has blocks in specific locations which contain personel data....name, phone, computer tag, desk key numbers, etc.  I extracted the data to an Excel spreadsheet and I thought set up a "data link".  But I don't know how to make the data update.

My problem...moves of staff, phone, computers are often made, but no one lets me know about it until they want a new floor plan printed and the computer and key tags get so messed up from the moves that it can take me hours to fix.

My goal is to be able to have our secretarial staff update the spreadsheet and in turn update the blocks in my AutoCAD drawing when it is opened and/or "updated".

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Figure Prefix Form Excel Spreadsheet / Access

I have one tip also. When you modify the figure database "C:ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2013enuSurvey" by using notepad and you add "*" after each figure it will connect during linework codes that much the prefix code and will exclude the integer, EPN1 and EPN2 will be treated as EPN

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Excel Spreadsheet To Hold Parameters And Then Auto Update In Model

Aug 7, 2013

I have a problem with using the excel spreadsheet to hold my parameters and then making them auto update in the model.

I have the excel 2003 spreadsheet saved in the same folder in the projects directory as the model. When I create the spreadsheet and enter the parameters and values etc I save and close the file.

When I am in inventor 2013 64 bit with SP1 installed, I open the model and can link the spreadsheet to the model and the model reflects the values in the spreadsheet. I also click update on the parameters dialog box.

I then open the spreadsheet and make some changes to the values, save the file and even go to the extreme of closing the file. When I go back into Inventor it recognises there has been some changes in the underlying spreadsheet. The update button is active in the tool bar. However trying to update the models by what ever means does not update the model parameters to those in the spreadsheet. Even closing the model and reopening it does not make a difference.

The only way I can get this to work is disconnecting the file and then reconnecting the file through the links option in the parameters dialog box. Then the model reflects the correct values and updates the model accordingly.

My concern is there is quite a bit of stuff on the net about 2013 not working with 2014 inventor anyway.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update K Factor / Sheet Metal Type From Excel Parameter Spreadsheet

The dimensions (length, width, flange size, etc) are driven from a spreadsheet. I would like to be able to have the user update the K Factor from the same spreadsheet by selecting a sheet metal type.

The sheet metal type and K factor are not listed in the parameters list with the other model dimensional data, so I'm not sure how to proceed.

Illustrator :: Importing Excel Spreadsheet Into Document?

Apr 17, 2013

I have a document that I would like to import an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet into.
 
Basically, my document is a diploma that can range anywhere from 15-250 different names and corresponding dates with those names.  It would save a great deal of time if I didn't have to manually type the names and dates into their respective spots.
 
I have a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that if possible, I would like to autofill the information into the Illustrator file.
 
Between the second & third lines of text is where I would like to enter the first column of text.  It would be NAMES that go here.
 
Then, between the fifth & sixth lines of text is where the second column of text from my spreadsheet would go.  This area would be filled with dates.
