Exporting text to Excel

[rajncajn]

I am trying to export a manually generated material list (not an AutoCAD "table") to an Excel spreadsheet or a .csv file. I've tried selecting the text and right clicking, but there is no export option. I've also tried selecting the text and going directly to Export, but I see no option to save it as a .csv.

You may try to use the DATAEXTRACTION command - I believe that is better to proceed with one column or row (the ones which are less) at a time to have some level of control over data extracted.

That seems like it will work, though it will be a time-consuming process. It seems like I remember doing this when I used AutoCAD regularly in the late 90's and it was much easier. Regardless, thank you for your help.

You probably used a custom lisp routine. Something like the one in this thread...
