nrschmid Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Is there a command or a .lsp that converts individual lines within a single MTEXT object into a CAD table with rows and columns? Unfortunately, Excel is not installed locally on my computer, so I cannot do a DATALINK. In Excel, I select and copy the cells to the clipboard. In AutoCAD, I PASTESPEC as text or unicode text. It appears as a single MTEXT. BLOCK LOT NUM AREA BLOCK 1 1 5770.67 BLOCK 1 2 5300.01 BLOCK 1 3 5336.69 BLOCK 1 4 5280.00 BLOCK 1 5 5280.00 BLOCK 1 6 5280.00 BLOCK 1 7 5280.00 BLOCK 1 8 5280.00 How do I convert this into a table in AutoCAD with cells and rows? I do not want to export back to Excel if I can avoid it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I posted a quick example of creating a table a few days ago the placement of the table values would be a read-line lisp to read the data file, breaking into columns look at http://www.Lee-mac.com I know he has a line read to a list (block 1 1 5770) which the example I posted uses. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?92985-Table Edited July 7, 2015 by BIGAL link added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
