    Hello,
    I would like to attach information (created in an Excel file) to various
    entities of my drawing, a range of my Excel file can be attached to
    different entities..and finally I want that if we modify information in
    Excel (the range of Excel), then the information attached to the
    entities is updated also....

    witch way or method to take?

    Thank you

    Hi...

    That information you wish to keep in Excel of the entities?

    It can but for that it would be necessary to have some type of Form in VB and from opening the Excel file there corresponding to the entity. For example, when pressing a button in the Form requests to select an entity to you in AutoCAD and at the time of selecting the entity the Excel file is opened connected to the entity and soon to change data and that are fence updating in the drawing.

    Nevertheless, I believe that he is but manageable to do what you wish by means of Reactors from Lisp Line of vision. Personally I have created routines in both languages, I did what you request from VB and VLISP but I insist that from VLISP the subject to change data in real time with Reactors from VLISP is but manageable. By means of VB it would be more coway to precionar a button so that the data in AutoCAD are updated.

  3. You need to be patient and chill - it sometimes takes 24 hours to get a
    response - this isn't realtime!
