inserting an attributed block using data from an external source

Hi,

 

I am reasonably experienced in coding in VBA but cannot find any references as to how to achieve the above within VBA so am now turning to LISP to see if I can achieve it in that language.

 

Basically I want to be able to create multiple instances of an attributed block using an external source, e.g. a spreadsheet to provide data for the attributes.

I'm not even sure if this is possible.

 

I can find lots of references for extracting attribute date to a spreadsheet but I want to go the other way!

 

I would be grateful if anybody can point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

Ron

Check out how do ATTOUT and ATTIN work. They use handles as entities' reference.
