2006 drawing with an excel worksheet in it

hi
I have a 2006 drawing file with a excel worksheet in it. When saving
as dwg or dxf the excel worksheet does not go with it. how can this be
done?

 

Please rephrase the problem and question. Your problem isn't clearly
stated, so how can what be done?

I think what he wants is to be able to save the 2006 drawing file with
both the drawing and the excel worksheet as a dwg or dxf file.

I don't think it can be. The SolidWorks drawing to dwg converter
leaves a GREAT deal to be desired. Currently after I export files in a
R2000 format, I have to hand edit each and every DWG as SolidWorks
applies a variable text spacing to all the text which completely hoses
up any alignment.

I really don't understand the issue. SolidWorks installs a copy of
Intellicad when it installs. Has no one at Concord EVER opened a
SolidWorks generated DEG file in Intellicad (aka dwgeditor)?

What fonts are you using? If you use a font that has a fixed
character width you should not have a problem. We use Lucida Sans
Typewriter as our default SW font and SLDTEXTSTYLE1 on .DWGs. We
convert every .slddrw file to .dwg when it is released to mfg and
don't have any problems with our text.

 

An excel spread sheet is an embedded object. Seems to me this is
asking a bit much of the translator.

 

SW2007 SP2.2

Maybe I don't understand something, or maybe it's fixed. I just tried
a simple drawing with 2 views and an Excel spreadsheet on it, saved as
DWG, opened with DWGEditor, and all is there.

I'm using Times Roman.

Doing as you suggest and saving to R12 really doesn't make any
difference. SWx puts everything into one style which uses the txt.shp
font. Unfortunately I want everything in romans, but this is an easy
mod via a script. . Additionally I still get the variable font width.
This is not an easy mod as there is no console access for global text
width changes. So the only way to fix this will be a VB or lisp
application.

Saving to v2006 it creates 29 different text styles each with a
different width. WHY? There is no fast way of combining this into
one style.

Is anyone in CONCORD listening? I've been bellyaching about this for
at least 5 years. Yes, 5 years.

Sent my VAR an e-mail about it to which I got no response.
