CAD to EXCEL graphic conversion
Thread Content
Does anyone know how to transfer CAD drawings to Excel? The graphics become extremely small after the transfer, and they are not visible when viewed in preview. What should I do?
In EXCEL, select “Insert” then “Objects”; among the options available is “AutoCAD Drawing”. This will open a blank CAD drawing. Copy the graphic you need and paste it into this blank drawing. After pasting, use the mouse scroll wheel to adjust the size as desired, then save and close the file. A prompt will appear asking whether to update the data in EXCEL; select “Yes”.
What was said upstairs is correct. In my opinion, when CAD content is pasted into Excel, it takes up the same size as the CAD window; no matter how the size of the pasted content is adjusted, the proportion of the graphic within the window remains unchanged, which results in the graphic appearing very small. . . You can window the CAD program before pasting, adjust the window to an appropriate size so that the graphic fills the window, and then paste it – this will make things much better. . .
