    Unhappy trouble inserting excel spreadsheet into ADT

    I am trying to import and excel spreadsheet and am having some difficulty. I have one spread sheet that is 8.5x11 1 sheet and this inserts fine. Then I have 2 other files that are on 11x17 with multiple sheets and those come in cut off on the side and I can only view 1 page. What am I doing wrong? HELP!!!!!

    What version of ADT are you using?

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    I haven't done it with the new versions yet. We still use "Spanner" to get the data from excel into autocad. I don't know what I'd do with out it. It works very well. But I know this can be done through ADT as well. Hope this helps.

    A) Please don't post multiple threads about the same problem. It makes searches more difficult.

    B) Tips/Tricks Forum is for offering tips/tricks, not asking questions. Therefore I will be moving this to a forum more appropriate.

    Try this:

    Select all the cells in excel that contain your data that you want to have in ADT.
    Copy the cells to the clipboard.
    Go to the menu EDIT and choose "Paste Special".
    Select the desired option from the list - I would recommend using the option "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet".

    If this does not work, please post back in this thread as to your status.
