import autoCAD drawing into Excel

I want to copy autoCAD drawings and put them
into an excel spredsheet. If I just copy and
paste, the line density is very low and can
be barely seen when printed. Looking for a
solution, thanks in advance.... Brad

set up a plot to tif raster plotter in plotter manager. Plot
out at the highest resolution.  Bring the tif into microsft imaging or
adobe photoshop or other phot editing software - trim and do whatever you need
to improve the image and then save it and import that into excel.

 

or insert the image into word and play with words graphic
editing tools - and then try to cut and paste into excel.

I got a very clear image in a project I worked on a couple of years ago. I ceated a layer with black as its color, and put the entire drawing on that layer. I then changed my ACAD background to white and using the EXPORT command saved the image as a metafile *.wmf. I then inserted the image in WORD with the insert/picture/from file tool. I was very pleased with the clarity, the only downside was that you lose control of lineweights.

I like plot as tif as you can then apply your .ctb
file and get the lineweights you want
