Insert Excel into AutoCAD

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Michael \(LS\), Oct 21, 2003.

  1. I'm trying to insert (link, insert, xref....whatever) an Excel file
    (window/door/room finish schedules) into AutoCAD r14. I can get it to sort
    of work. Problem is that not all the rows and columns are showing up
    (there's ~16 columns and ~50 rows - what I'm getting is only ~10 of each to
    show up in AutoCAD). I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know
    what. FWIW, it'd be nice if the AutoCAD link would update if the Excel file
    is modified but it's not critical (rarely do I change things later, and I
    could always just reinsert if need be).

    Appreciate the help,

  2. This is an OS caused limitation and is fixed in ACAD 2004 under WIN XP.
    In Rel. 14 you can try smaller lines and smaller columns in your Excel
    sheet.
