What I meant was AutoCADD 2002 no longer has edit-paste-special as AutoCADD entity, rather as edit-paste-special %PRODUCT type, which does not work with my excel spreadsheets. Anyone out there with a solution? Thanks-

RE: .xls to AUTOCad 2002 problems

I don't know about your cad2002 program, if can not use paste we can use lisp program.

RE: .xls to AUTOCad 2002 problems

Under insert OLE object inside AC 2002 you can do what you want even with Excel or other specified object types!
Actually, Paste-Copy works as good as always!
Hope this help!

I was trying to Edit-Paste-Special some excel spreadsheets panels “nn.xls” format into AutoCAD 2002 but it no longer has this "Edit-Paste-Special" as “AutoCAD entity” feature!  Rather as “edit-paste-special” as “%PRODUCT entity type” which does not work with my excel spreadsheets.
What do you do now to insert spreadsheets as “usable text” e.g. “not a picture-real modifiable text”, anyone out there with a solution? Thanks.

RE: .xls to AUTOCad 2002 problems

There are some commercial products and some freeware products that translate Excel spreadsheets to AutoCAD editable tables. Look on some of the CAD-related sites, or maybe tucows.

It is not "Promoting, selling,for my self benefit ",  as far as I understood it.

I have found that the best tool for this, and for many other options is ToolPac from dotsoft.com

I am a user only and also do not receive anything from this. Only trying to help. Same as Pardal.
