One method using AutoCAD 2005... You can create a FIELD object within a TABLE that is equal to the value of the dimension and export the table to a CSV file...

RE: Transfer of Dim text to excel program

Do you need the dimension text to constantly update the Excel cell, or just when you run a macro, or do you want the Excel cell to be linked to the AutoCAD dimension so any change to either changes the other?  Or something else?

Does the request to push the dimension text to Excel come from Excel or AutoCAD?

How many dimensions need to get to Excel?

Thanks twlincoln, i will check that out.

IFRs,
Actually i'll be needing it for door production purposes. I have to draw it in autocad then the door width and height value should be transferred to excel form for order entry. For every drawing i've created, the width and height should be extracted and send it to an excel form. In most cases,aound say 10 doors in one autocad drawings at a time, that means i have to extract 20 dimension values to be transferred to excel.  I think a macro will do but i don't have any idea how to do this.

Thanks IFRs.
