    Make thematic map of external data linked to labels

    Ok, so in map3d I can use

     

    attach data source

    connect data source

    define link templates

    generate data links

     

    (in that order) to attach data in an excel spreadsheet to a bunch of text objects in my drawing.  The spreadsheet is keyed on the text in the text objects.

     

    However - I can't then make a thematic map based on this data!  Using the thematic map tool, with either "data" or "sql" expression, acad reports that "No link templates exist".  Which seems odd because I already linked the data in using one.

     

    Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Please use plain text.

    Which ODBC driver did you use to link your DWG objects to the Excel records?

    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (well this is what it says in properties for the attached data source anyway)

    Please use plain text.
