I tried to include an excell sheet in one of our drawing format. This sheet show the usual dimensions for molded plastic part.It is very easy to use with the possibility to change with two click the active sheet and in doing so the global precision of manufacturing.
Edrawing work fine with this but infortunately, when I export the draw in DXF, my sheet is no longer visible.
Any hint or tips?
 
That's because when you use an Excel object into a drawing in SW, it is inserted as a OLE object. DXF Files don't support OLE Objects so it gets deleted.

When in doubt, always check the help
 
If you can export to a DWG file, it supports OLE.
