I always copy the table in excel, then I use the "pastespec" command to bring my table into AutoCAD. It links the table dynamically.

[peterv]

Thanks for the info pulled me out of a jam. and I can understand you unlike the other vid. had no idea what the heck was being said.

[khayeoo]

Really helpful. Thanks for your productivity videos.

[BrianBitner-qn]

Do you have any videos on how to create and edit a excel table that you build in AutoCAD?

[aruchun]

How to adjust the size of the table, and how to use the same table properties to other autocad data.

[BruceWayne-uskw]

This was really helpful. I was about to break something out of frustration before watching this because AutoCAD kept crashing.

How can we do this but instead have the information that was input into excel directly be inputted into its respective field in the title block in the paper space ?

[revodzz]

how to make that table bigger in autocad looks like to small in the autocad and how to make bigger also the font size of the text in tables. thank you

[sgui]

would like to see more examples . is it possible to extract fields ? i know you can do it with attributes . maybe i can use fields into attribute blocks then create a table?
would love to hear your side..thanks !

[vivibadani]

Thank I always copy pasted from excel but I dont know why on a specific file I had when I printed on PDF the letters were so small, and I didnt know how to change it.... so your method saved me.

[jennifermott]

[HusfadlyahoocaEgyptrevolution]

Great ....
Is this options avaliable for AutoCAD for MacBook???

[JFASACM]

That was really helpful. Thanks a lot!

[khaledxerox]

thank you so much for this well-done elaborate, but how do generate a table with drawings titles updated automatedly.

[antoniiocaluso]

just curious...WHY do so many CAD-folks on YT wearing baseball caps? :-) Seriously! Long-time CAD-guy in FL here (since '82 on MicroStation then!) who has NEVER worked in any offices that needed them worn. Guess we knew how to design our lighting, huh? To me, it does NOT look "cool", nor is it it Functional in FL, where a SOMBRERO is more-appropriate in Summer! Guess Canadian CAD-folks need hats to...stay warm waaay-up-there?? ))) Spill the beans, please, Brandon. Stay COOL, y'all !!

Linked tables have to be the buggiest AutoCAD tool in history. Its impossible to get the format right on import and if you format after import, then change the data, the format completely reverts. I find it best to create attributed blocks that mimic tables. That way they only have one format available, the right format.

[moltoadisuanega]

it is good what have presented before. do have about how to insert legend in auto cad?
