OLE file
« on: September 04, 2015, 03:51:41 PM »
Hi guys,

I'm attaching a word file to autocad, and the file have 2 pages. So when I insert into autocad, attach only 1 page.

Anybody can help me out, please?

Regards

Rob...

I avoid OLEs like the plague. I've been using the import text option in MText with very little post import editing.

Agreed.  I spell "O-L-E" "B-A-D".

One thing that has worked well for me (assuming maintaining the formatting is critical) is to print to PDF then attach the PDF.

Agreed - but to maintain formatting and for ease of updating, it's the best way I've found so far.

We should be switching to 2016 fairly soon, so that's good to hear.
