I formated my Excelt document to look how I wanted and when I bring it in to autocad all the rows and columns are different than in my excel, also I am not able to white out certain cells. Any idea why this would be happening?

CAD Geek,

I like your explantion of how to insert excel tables into AutoCAD 2008.
My questions is this. Why is it that the romans font in excel look and prints horribly.
I personally don’t mind using arial because that prints just fine, but the old timers like romans.

I have experimented with different fonts and size in both acad 08 and 10 and same effect. Romans print
out very ugly or have of the leter disapears.

Will apreciated your help.

Question: When using ACAD 2007, I’m having problems with “paste special” as well as linking in my copied excel spreadsheet as an “OLE Obj”. Neither seem to retain the entire copied spreadsheet in ACAD. Any advice? Thanks :)

Well Donnie,

I don’t make comments like this unless I’m truly grateful for a to the point solution. I’m 71 years old but still learning. Your three point method of getting Excel data into Acad has just saved me hours of work and improved the quality of the Acad presentation no end. I’ll use this method for the forseeable future.

All the very best to you and people like you.

Steve Reynolds.

Respectable,

first of all, sorry for my bad english, but it’s not my native language, I’m live and work in Croatia! So, because of lack of the special literature here in Croatia, and my trying to find out with this problem, I’m decided to write to you.
So, the problem is how to create some curves from datas in excel. Let me be more precisely, it’s problem how to create izocromatic curves of tension in material, which are in its native hiperbolic curves, but it’s less important. For me is important, how to make close polilynes in auto cad from datas in excel, from tables in excel, which is divided on x coordinate and y coordinate.

Thanks!

Igor v.
