Hyperlink

I am trying to hyperlink an excel file to objects in a drawing. ie.
data on an object is set in a particular row in excel. I need to make
it so the data is live so that if the info is changed in spreadsheet
the drawing hyperlink will be updated automatically.

 

Hilite the excel file, pick edit, copy. Go to Autocad and pick edit, paste
special, when the box comes up pick the % Product Enities and pick where you
want it in your drawing. A box should come up in order for you to resize the
spreadsheet if you need to. Mine always come in too big and have to pick one
of the corners and drag it to make it smaller. Leave your excel sheet open
so when you make changes to the spreadsheet in Autocad you can just check to
see it changed on the spreadsheet and visa versa.

This should work if my memory is correct.

Good luck,
