lsp that extracts file names from excel and inserts into known points of AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

Part of the CAD departments responsibility is to create a second report from an existing report created in Excel.  Within the excel document are photo's that need to be inserted into the second report that we create.  I'm looking for a lsp that can take the links from the excel file and place them into CAD.  Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello @Anonymous  It would be easier if you could send an example of your .XLS.

Check this link Point Manager.

Unfortunately, due to proprietary information, I'm unable to share any of our files which truly limits my abilities to resolve issues within these forums.  However, I do appreciate your assistance but looking at the link you sent me that won't work for what I'm needing in this instance but will come in handy for another.

Thanks,

So I'm not sure if this will help, but I use a LSP called "Pointsin" to insert coordinates and texts into a CAD file. We have an excel file given to use by field members, then we clean it up a little bit and save it to a text-tab delimited file. We can then use Pointsin to import the data from the text-tab delimited file into CAD as a block. It works really well for us because we need the text to be associated with certain coordinate points, so if you have a point with the link, it might work for you too.

I think the link below is what we used as a base for our LSP.
