Excel Spreadsheets, AutoCAD and Limited Data
Excel Spreadsheets, AutoCAD and Limited Data
(OP)
Ladys and Gents,
I am inserting excel spreadsheets into an AutoCAD drawing, simple enough. However why, after I insert the excel spreadsheet does it only show a limited number of colums and a limited number of rows? Is there a way to get round this so I can see all my data in one go?

which ACAD-version are you running?
How do you import the spreadsheet. As ACAD-objects?
The numbers of rows and colums are limited...

Thanks for your reply I read the information on the link supplied and decided to split the excel spreadsheet into more manageable chucks and then pieced them together in AutoCAD.
However I was thinking last night, I wondered if you could do it the other way round? i.e insert the AutoCAD border into excel as a WMF file. I have just tried it and it worked you just need to sort the margins out.
Regards to all

Be careful if you are using multiple layout tabs and you like to insert this type of object in Paper Space. You won't be able to see it in Tabs other than the one you inserted it in, but if you double-click in another tab in the same area as the object it will access it.
