INSERT TEXT INTO DWG
INSERT TEXT INTO DWG
(OP)
G'day,
I would like to insert formatted text (tabbed, lines, etc) into a dwg. I would prefer it if it could be done directly from word as it is a parts reference table that I would like to insert.
I can recall having done this in the past, but I can't for the life of me remember how.
Any suggestions that don't involve writing lisp, etc.
Thanks in advance.

use control+c, and control+v -> yoe will get an Ole-objekt
Is that, what you mean?

I have used this method but have found that the quality of the pasted object is fairly ordinary when it comes to printing.
From what I can recall the method I used involved creating a table (in either word or excel) and then inserting it via a lisp routine that gave it fairly high quality text alignment.

you will get a more high-grade plotquality with
options -> plot -> Ole plotquality -> best quality / high-grade Photo.
Maybe it works...???
