Topic: Excel Table to Autocad

[Mystogan]

Hi sir/mam

Hoping you could help me out, does any here have a copy of LSP.
That will routinely write all the details(in each cell, only the written) in the excel in AutoCad that will create a table.

Im using copy paste from excel then into cad, but this method will requires me to add it my .xlsx in the process
of submission. I prefer not to include it.

Thank you in advance

I typically create a datalink to an Excel file and then insert a table created from the datalink.

Here is an example of read csv to a table. You will have to edit to suit number of columns.
