Methods for copying graphics or tables between CAD and WORD, EXCEL

Thread Content

I. Steps to copy CAD graphics or tables to WORD and EXCEL: 1. Change the CAD system variable WMFBKGND to OFF to make the CAD background transparent; if you want the copied graphics to be in black and white, you can change the layer color to white (color number 7) in the layer manager； 2. Select the graphic you want to copy, and use the “Copy” tool to copy it ； 3. Switch to WORD or EXCEL, activate the area where you want to paste, then select “Edit”—“Paste”” ； 4. The initial effect after pasting is as shown in the figure below ； 5. Use “Image Crop” to remove the empty areas of the image, then scale the image to an appropriate size by dragging diagonally ； 6. The effects after cropping and scaling are as shown in the figure below ； 7. If the graphic needs to be modified, you can follow the method shown below to return to CAD for the changes ； The method for copying to EXCEL is the same. 24К edited on 2005-11-24 10:09 24К Posts: 607 http://abbs.cn/images/pixel.gif 2005-11-24 09:36　　　　　 II. Steps to copy graphics or tables from WORD/EXCEL into CAD 1. Select the graphics or tables that need to be copied, and use the “Copy” tool to do so ； 2. Switch to the CAD program, then select “Edit”—“Paste Special”” ； 3. Select “AutoCAD entities” as the paste option; this is done so that the content can be edited in CAD after it is pasted ； 4. Select the paste insertion point; the result after pasting is as shown in the figure below ； 5. The lines or text after being pasted can be edited directly in CAD, as shown in the figure below ； It’s all done. A few additional points on converting from CAD to Office: The term \"CAD to Office\" is used because this method can be applied when pasting CAD drawings into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher. 1. Line width – It is recommended to use polylines to set the line width, as when the width is determined in this way, there are only two options: thick or thin, which does not look good ； 2. Proportion problems – Whenever possible, use a 1:1 scale for drawing. Here, 1:1 refers to the printing scale; that is, if something needs to be printed at 10 mm, it should be drawn as 10 units. This way, it’s possible to control both the scale of the output and the width of the lines ； 3. Background color – For 2002, it can be copied in the layout space (the background of the general layout space is white); for 2004, 2005, and 2006, it can be copied directly without any need to modify the background color. It’s sent out now; this is just one method, and please point out any mistakes. I hope everyone can share any good methods so that we can all learn from them*learn*. . . Do not repost without consent!
