Hello
I have a pair of questions, and I hope you can give me moreover a pair of answers what would be great really.
I must analyze within the scope of my master work the integration of (office), actually, Excel Sheets data in AutoCAD. I must data of Excel import to AutoCAD

1. Is this generally possible?
2. if possibly how, programs or computer languages, or even still with Autocad only etc.
3. Give please your own experiences. How make you it and which experiences you have collected about that point.

This informations I need, then I want to program in my real masterwork in Excel simple Static Systems with automatic choice of the profile. Then he should export the profile coordinates to AutoCAD. So I imagine. Is this possible and how would you make this?

So hopefully I have not irritated you too much.

Many thanks for your answers …!!

8) From what I understood...you want to import the POINT data from excel into autocad and have autocad place that data as points in your drawing..

Is this correct ??

It is possible to do what you asked by either simply Cut N Paste each set of co-ordinates from Excel into the command prompt during the point/line commands ... but this can be time consuming
Other options are to do this with programming...either in VLISP or VBA these will automate the process.
