Data extraction TO excel (Not from excel)

Hi everyone,

 

I know it is possible to create a data link to bring data from excel into an autoCAD table. Is it possible to go the other way with the data?

 

I would like to use data extraction to create a table in an autoCAD drawing, and from there, have a live update (Not a manual process i.e. TABLEEXPORT) to an excel file. I use excel pivot tables to sort items across multiple drawings.

DATAEXTRACTION will create a link and export.  It isn't continuously live but will prompt to update.  It is drawing specific and so you couldn't extract data from multiple drawings into one external file.
