I know exactly what your saying. I've connected up with excel, can put info from the drawing into it, but I haven't been able to go the other way from excel to the drawing to insert text. And then I'm not really sure how to find text and then change it in the drawing. I was also thinking about using attributes instead of text. Ideally I'd like to insert a block w/attributes, have the attributes loaded into excel, go into excel and place what I want the attributes to be, and then populate the drawing. I'm reading AutoCAD 2004 VBA by Joe Sutphin and it's really helping out a lot. I guess I just need to familiarize myself with VBA and then come back after I figure out what I can't do.
Thanks for your Help JR.
