dbconnect

[DFlynn]

From an excell spreadsheet I have inserted some labels into a AutoCAD 2002 drawing. I've then edited the spreadsheet. How do I then update the labels in the drawing. After searching the help menus I could'nt find an answer. The only way I successfully did this was to configure a new database and then completely reinsert all the labels all over again. There must be a better way. I'd be gratefull for any help.

Hi

How did you insert the data from Excel into AutoCAD in the first place?

Check out the following Technical Document on the Autodesk web site under the Knowledge Base section...

ID: TS25475 - Creating a Label Template Using dbConnect

ID: TS73676 - Labels do not update after label reload

ID: TS34524 - Creating attached labels without previously having created links

Further searching on the Autodesk Knowledge base will turn up more info on "DbConnect" "Excel" "OLE" etc
