I have a graph in Open Office Calc that I want to insert in a drawing? Anyone have success with this?

RE: Insert graph option
What methods have you tried? What errors were given?
RE: Insert graph option
OO is OLE compliant but it seems I can get the file embedded but not the actual graph. No errors, you simply see nothing happening. It's like shouting at a snoring man...nothing registering.

It's really a shame. Shame on SolidWorks. They sell a product with many of the finest features that won't work without your also purchasing M$ Excell.
Bummer

RE: Insert graph option
We can't use design tables because of Excel and I am not asking IT to support the Bill F'ing Gates retirement fund for this feature. SW charges enough as it is per license so we work around that option also.
RE: Insert graph option
I was just sitting here wondering - How could I make this happen (use Calc with SW)? I was going to start asking in some OOo forums if anybody thinks it's possible. I used to know someone that claimed he could write code to make any two programs work together. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if that is really possible. I'm not really sure how to approach this. But I'm interested. Any suggestions.
Just wondering

RE: Insert graph option
WELL - That sounds like a challenge to me
You could be right though. OOo Calc is completely different from M$ Excel. Even though Calc can be set to open any .xls files and has a complete Save As .xls translator, I've not seen the ability to just use a group of cells without displaying the entire program/menu. Also Calc is not a stand alone program, it's just one of the Modes (probably not the right terminology) in OOo. Although others are also requesting access to the Write mode (instead of M$ Word) of OOo.
Paying someone for this would be just wrong on every level
I'm interested to see just how difficult this might be. It'll have to be in my spare time though and probably mostly asking a lot of questions
Thanks - your input is always appreciated
