Project is in Poland, and all callouts are made with keynotes (hexagon with a number in it), with the keynote number defined, bilingually, in a table. We have been using straight AutoCAD tables, but continuously updating them by exporting, emailing to Poland, then cut/pasting the translated values back into the tables has become tedious, at best. We are going to switch to linked tables (PASTESPEC-> Linked XLS, AutoCAD entities) so we can just have the Polish team translate the 'actual' spreadsheet, thereby streamlining the process.

However, I need to show a hexagon in the top-left corner of the table (Cell A1). I'm having trouble finding a font with a hex symbol that both ACAD and Excel recognize, and I can't insert the block into the table because it's linked and locked. Currently, my only option is to just place the block on top of the linked table, but then it's no longer tied to the table.

Any ideas, y'all?
