Need advice: Importing XL into AutoCAD

I am importing an XL file into AutoCADr14 but when I try to print it on our HP DesignJet350C it comes out all messed up and illegiable. Do I have a driver problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Logan

When you copy an Excel spreadsheet (I'm assuming it's a spreadsheet) to the clipboard and then paste it into your drawing. Excel uses a Metafile, or Picture, format. Microsoft Excel restricts the size of its metafiles to 12.5" across and down.

Simplest way is to reduce the height of the rows and/or widths of the columns so the range cells will fit within the 12.5" limitation. Also try using a smaller font size.

Another option is to use the PASTESPEC command (choose EDIT>PASTE SPECIAL) and paste the excel worksheet as an Image Entity.
Hope this helps.

To translate Excel into AutoCAD

I can provide a macro that reads the Excel table and recreates it inside AutoCAD as Acad lines and Acad Text.
