Importing Formatted Text from Excel in AutoCad Multi Line Text

Anonymous

Our company is attempting to see if there is anyway to quickly edit and format large multi lines of text for our general notes. When editing a very long string of Mline text, the program scrolls very slow which slows down the ability to quickly make edits and jump around.

 

The general notes are fairly standard with about 4 indent lines for aligning text. So the question is would there be anyway to create these notes in excel? Possibly by typing each line of code into its own cell and moving down and over when the text is meant to be indented. I know this is most likely not possible but was asked by a higher up to take a look into it and after numerous failed google searches, I was hoping to see if a forum would be a better option.

 

Many Thanks!

How long is "long" exactly?
How not break it up into smaller sections?

AutoCAD is not really a great quality text editor, for inordinate amounts of text many users link to MSWord and/or MSExcel documents in those more robust apps.

Why not use MS Word?  Use the "Increase Indent" button or edit the paragraph indentation value for making indents.  You can then copy/paste to mtext field in AutoCAD.

Unfortunately, whenever we have used MS Word, when we bring it into AutoCad the formatting is completely messed up with random spaces and other mistakes that cause the process to do more harm than good, sadly.
