    Anyway to extract coordinates into excel file?

    You can get a lot of good training on cad at your local Junior college. This is generally much cheaper and the info is usually as good. Also ask your local CAD Vendors they usually hold specialized classes. And lastly watch Autodesk website for seminars coming to your town.

    Adding a word doc

    Does any one know if ACAD has a limitation on the size of a word document that can cut and pasted into ACAD (Version 2002). I have a document that is two pages long and when I paste it into ACAD it truncates at the page break. I increased the paper size inside word, in hopes that would help...

    Turbocad vs Autocad

    I haven't used turbocad since the days of DOS. At the time it was great to play around with at home but from a professional stand point I found it to be weak. I understand it has gotten considerably better since then. You can check out this review page...

    linking single cells to AutoCAD LT

    I realy have'nt delt much with Acad lt, but I am guessing that OLE is one thing that lt shares with acad. And to answer your question yes you can link an individual cell to your drawing. Simply highlight the cell you wish to paste into the drawing, right click and select copy. Open the drawing...

    Change ext. .BAK to .DWG

    dsi is correct. Open Windows Explorer right click on the file, select rename, and rename the file with the same name but change the .bak to .dwg. You will get a message something similar to "renaming this file may change the format and keep it from working" The message is far from...

    Autocad incomplete shutdown

    First of all, it sounds like a mem problem. How many processes do you have running, and how much mem is on the machine? Second Why are you running two sessions of Autocad Lt? As of release 2000 Autocad has MDI ( Multiple document interface) that allows you to open several drawings at one time...

    Drawings that we have contain error

    This all depends on the type of errors you are having. If you are opening the drawings from a CD then they will be read only drawings, so if the contractor had special fonts that they did supply you with you would get error messages. Autocad would then proceed to open with a default font; but...
