RobDraw Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Are you wanting to extract images from an Excel file and paste them into AutoCAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDraw Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Doesn't seem to work here. It might help if you could post the file you are trying to copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I do not believe that will work, supposedly it will work with Windows Metafiles, but I never got that to work well either. Why exactly do you need them as AutoCAD Entities, maybe there is a different method to achieve your results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civardi Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 When i paste special/paste link as microsoft excel worksheet the plot quality is terrible. The line weights suck and the bitmap image is no good when i plot. Using autocad entities option the lineweights are good when i plot. I also have more control over aligning my columns. the data i am copy from excel is a couple of columns with an image in one of the columns. (Sample attached looks fine. The issue is when i plot even though my plot quality is set to highest.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Have you looked at the default "insert image" but you will need a BMP JPG etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
