Mike or anybody,
Is it possible to retrieve this info through LISP and use it in routines?
How about across drawings?
If possible and you could show or tell me how it would be nothing short of miraculous.

"fixo" presents a nice example in this thread ( Insert a point and label its z value ).
Have a good one, Mike
From my experience what you are trying to do IS possible... but not without some work...IF the numbers that you are referencing are ALWAYS going to be related to that particular object, for instance if you want to reference the contents of Cell A:1 to an object and that reference will ALWAYS be the content of cell A:1 and not say A:2, B:1, etc. it's easier. first off though... AutoCAD will NOT reference non-numeric text from a table...meaning anything that is not a number, without a 3rd party app like Cadig's AutoField program... which is complete bs... but I digress, a work around to this is to make a block, with your data, in any format, as the attributes, which you can then reference via field. IF you are using strictly numeric values you can use a table without exploding it and making it a block... if you are using alpha AND numeric values...it gets a little more complicated... ALSO, you cannot reference a cell from a table on a different layout or in model space and use it in your current layout... at least not that i've been able to find, you have to reference a piece of text or block attribute AND your desired table cell... it really isn't as bad as it sounds, I will try it attach a screencast of it to this message... good luck..
hopefully the LISP guru's like Lee Mac, J.P. Sanders and many other's will one day thwart the system and grant us poor uninitiated the holy grail of LISP codes that will allow a user to reference textural data from a table in a field and not just numeric values...
