    Default Excel Data into AutoCAD 2011

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all,

    I recently upgraded to AutoCAD 2011 and for some reason when I copy data from excel and use pasta special - as AutoCAD entities if pastes as single line text and not as an table as in previous version.

    Is there maybe a setting for changing this back or is this just how ACAD 2011 works??

    "...and use pasta special..." Can I have some whine with that? LOL

    Why are you resorting to paste special and not using a Dynamic Link? Just curious.

    OK. Well give me a moment to fire up my version of 2011 and give it a try.

    I'm baaaaack.

    Works for me. Ugly as hell though. Makes me glad I switched to Dynamic Link.

    I haven't done much tweaking of AC 2011 settings so I am using it pretty much as it came straight out of the box. Don't know of a setting that would force all data to be displayed as single line text and not as a table. Will have to investigate further.
