Hi guys, I need to count a list of autocad aligned dimension by orientations and to cut the time I wish to link from Exctract DATA the lenght of aligned dimensions in Azimut angles order from North to South. Do you know any easy way to accomplish this lists in an updtable way into Excel?
If you want to link the AutoCAD polylines to the Excel table as well, you can use the "Data Link" tool in AutoCAD to create a live link between the drawing and the Excel file. Then, any changes you make to the drawing or the Excel table will be updated automatically in both places.
I am wanted to link excel data in to autocad drawing in the form of cross section and long section of the canal & river i.e the elevation versus chainages in the x and y axis respevtively by
changing the data in the document file it would have to change
automaticaly in the autocad drawing itself that is the profile change.
but i could not it? can you explain me the required problem through my
e-mail please.
I want to connect the excel data into autocad drawing in cross-sectional shape to draw a cross-sectional and longitudinal whether to send it in autocad 2007 if its application can be sent to me thanks imeal

I have a fire map which got 700+ devices on it and each time we add/remove a device the whole numbering system gets changed. Therefore I am looking to link the device labels in autocad with excel spreadsheet and update the spreadsheet whenever we add/remove a fire device. I would really appriciate if somebody can give me some tips :)

how to link the CAD drawings names into excel? i.e. if I have series of drawings and want to change its names and the excel has already its names, so whatever I do in Cad, the excel will be updated according to CAD?? Same concept of (xref) in autoCAD.
To do this I made a block with these links, and using a script, inserted the same block into every drawing. All I have to do is open each drawing and change each of the 10 links to match the drawing/sheet which is open. (i am struggling to explain)
I was hoping there would be a way of selecting all links at once and changing all 10 SHEETS to the correct one. (they are all pointing to the first sheet, because they are all the same exploded block).
Believe it or not even changing each one individually, it is still saving me a lot of time but i was hoping it could be done a bit faster.
Donnie, thaks for sharing this post, i found it really useful. I have a problem uploading my changes to the excel table inserted in autocad to the original excel file. I tried to create a field with the area of a pline and I can upload it but when I modify the poliline and the field shows the new area, I click on update to source file and get the message:
1 object(s) found.
1 data link(s) could not be written out.
0 data link(s) written out successfully.
It happens only when the object to which the field is referred is modified after creating the field.
A Second, unrelated question, has anyone scaled a linked table in acad only to need to insert rows into the table and have the new text come in at the original scale when updated? Is there a way to set the table so updates will come in at the proper scale?
Once you have a CSV file, you can import it into Excel; saving it as an XLS. From there you can use the procedure listed above to create a new linked table in AutoCAD. Doing this last part will dynamically link your AutoCAD table with your Excel table.
I have an autocad lt 2008 drawing and I want to be able to link it to an excel spreadsheet. I want to be able to make changes on the spreadsheet so it will change the details on the auotcad drawing. Is that possible?
Actually the data link is available in autocad 2007 and possibly 06 as well, the main problem, for me anyways has been to keep my formatting for tables in autocad the same when i import a linked xcel file.
I am using AutoCAD 2008 and of course I took advantage of great new linking possibilities. I have linked number of cells (about 70 links) from single XL file to AutoCAD file. XL file is a template file with some calculations which can be used in different projects; therefore I need to create copy of this XL file and copy of AutoCAD file as well. Copy of AutoCAD file stays linked to original file (which is logical). My next step is to edit each data link and specify new source file (cell location in XL remains as in original file). By using Data Link Manager I can do this task one by one, it takes so long. Is there any better way to tell AutoCAD that new data will be linked with different file with same cell locations?
Thank you for your help
