AutoCAD LT 2007 - OLE Objects not shown fully

[doug.127025]

i have inserted an excel worksheet (window schedule) and it doesn't show all of the information- it clips off the last couple of columns. any suggestions?

First, welcome to AUGI.


What version of ACAD LT are you using? I believe older versions had a limit on how big of a spreadsheet could be inserted. I hear (although I haven't tried it yet) the newer versions have fixed this glitch/problem.


The only work around I've come across for this issue is to insert the spreadsheet in smaller sections and then match them up in your drawing. A little tedious but it works.

Hi

Take a look at the following thread in the AutoCAD FAQ (Read only) forum...

Working with OLE (eg Excel) Objects within a drawing file

* AutoCAD version.
* Windows Operating System version.
* Microsoft Office version.

All three of the above play a part in how OLE Objects behave / work in AutoCAD.

Have a good one, Mike

OK!! I GOT IT FIGURED OUT! i tried looking at some of the links, but it seemed that for the most part, it came down to patching multiple spreadsheets. what i found that worked was that if you go to the excel spreadsheet and copy the area you want, then go to the drawing, and EDIT-PASTE SPECIAL, it will paste the entire area that was copied, and it also gives you the option to link. works better than INSERT- OLE.
thanks for your help anyway.
