AUTOCAD AND OPEN OFFICE SUPPORT

[srivathsan]

We are one of the registered and licensed users of AutoCad Products like LT2006 or LT2011 and few other AutoDesk Products. We would like to know why the AutoCad doesn't support OpenOffice while editing or inserting the table just like MS Excel tables into AutoCad Drawings. Is there any other add-ins or extensions that can allow the Open Office Spread sheet table to directly utilize in AUTOCAD and while double clicking the table it must open a Spreadsheet table as like for MS Excel Tables to MS Excel sheet.

You will need to browse the open source forums of OPEN OFFICE and ask for 3rd party developers to help:

So far Autodesk is only allied with Microsoft Office Products, the #1 commercially used professional tool that does not get upgraded every two minutes.

And yes, I only use Open Office too.
