Opening AutoCAD 2011 from Excel
Opening AutoCAD 2011 from Excel
(OP)
My company has a spreadsheet in Excel that contains data and a macro for creating a drawing in AutoCAD. In previous versions of AutoCAD, the macro worked great. However, when trying to update the macro to communicate with AutoCAD 2011, it doesn't work, We get an error and when we click Debug, the line shown below is highlighted:
app = "AutoCAD.r19.DDE"
chan = DDEInitiate(app, "System")
Can someone help in what might be causing this error and how to correct it?
Thanks.

That page also has a link to AutoCAD-2011-vba-enabler, so presumably there are some things that need enabling.
