How to copy a Point Table from Excel?

[ltmullen]

This seems like it should be the most stupidly easy thing...but AutoCAD doesn't seem to have a way to do this.

I made a point table from a point group. Quick and sweet.

But now I want to change it a little bit, and it's not something I can just do from the table style. So I want to copy it into Excel...and when I try to, hitting paste in Excel ends up just giving me this block image version of the table in Excel. I tried doing TABLEEXPORT but that's only for regular tables.

Any help here? Thanks!

This can not be done in this way. Civil tables are not the same as excel tables or autocad tables so the data cannot be passed in this way.

You can export the points and achieve the same thing so long as you select the right columns. After export open in excel and edit away but this will be detached from the points in the file.

I concur with Mike

export the point group from the points menu, edit save a csv, reimport and the civil table will import

OK, I had been thinking that the export points command gave you some strange file format that I didn't know how to work with, because in the menu it gave formats such as ENZ, NEZ, etc, but then I realized that those meant "Easting, Northing, Elevation" and "Northing, Easting, Elevation," etc. and it gave it to you in a text file format, which I do know how to bring into Excel.

So...I'm good now. Thanks for your help.
