OLE edit requires "reset" and then resizing almost 75% of the time?

We use OLE's in a project. There are pretty simple excel charts pasted into the file. Occasionally the info inside needs edited and saved. Why when I simply change a word or number in a cell, the OLE often stretches wildly, and requires a "reset" and then even after the reset its resizes back up to its a larger than set size? I'ts as if I must re insert it every time? Kinda defeats the purpose.  Occasionally it stays where it should not often tho.

Also off topic here, but is there a way to enter a one click text edit mode? I stumbled on what seemed to be something similar the other day but can't recall how. Share your text editing tips, I would be grateful. I'm trying to cut down on extra clicks and moves. Wrists are tied at the end of an ACAD day.

That's why it's so much better to insert the excel chart as an AutoCAD object than an OLE!

Look at your own experiences for that: the advantage is never dealing with it again.

 

Just remember, the solution is a linked file, much like XREFs, the external file has to always be present and available to your AutoCAD session.

 

Do some testing at your end and decide if any of that works for you.
