Exporting layout to excel

Hello: I wanted to know if it's possible to export a drawing from Autocad to Excel. The drawing is in both model space and layout and contains polygons and blocks.

Thanks,

Proctor

What do you expect the end result in Excel to be though?

Hi - thanks for your response. I would want all the objects to display in excel.

E.g. Say if I have 4 polygons that are in the shape of letters TEST. I would want those to show up in Excel. Do you know if this is possible?

thanks again,

Proctor

As autocad plines, text, or as what? You can OLE autocad dwgs in MS office apps provided you have AutoCAD installed on the workstation the speadsheet is opened on or even dwf with the dwf viewer(s).

If you just want the shapes of those polygons then a simple bmpout or jpgout in AutoCAD and insert the image into the document.

One word: PowerPoint.

Thanks for all your replies. The polygon shapes can output as a bmp and then there will be some text that will need to go as well.

I'll play around with using OLE from Cad to Office. I'll also check out how to do it in powerpoint and see if that might be a better way to go.

thanks again,

Proctor
