Excelllink

Excellink is an application that allows you to link AutoCAD blocks to data in an Excel spreadsheet. This allows you to automatically update the information in your drawing according to changes in the Excel spreadsheet.

How does it work?

Excellink creates a live connection between AutoCAD and the Excel spreadsheet. Changes in the Excel spreadsheet are immediately reflected in the AutoCAD drawing.

What are the benefits?

- Simplifies data handling. You don't have to manually transcribe information from an Excel spreadsheet into a drawing.

- Enables automatic calculations. For example, Excellink can automatically calculate dimensions or weights of parts.

- Increases accuracy. Because the information is automatically updated, there is less chance of errors.

Examples of use

- Automatic creation of BOMs. Excellink can be used to automatically generate BOMs from data in an Excel spreadsheet.

- Post-calculation of data in blocks. Excellink can be used to automatically calculate data in blocks, such as dimensions or weights.

- Transfer data between blocks. Excellink can be used to transfer data from one block to another.

- Control geometric properties of blocks. Excellink can be used to control geometric properties of blocks, such as scale, position, or rotation.
