OLE Object won't update when I make changes in Excel

Anonymous

Process: I copy a section of an Excel sheet and choose 'Paste Special' in AutoCAD. Then I check off the 'Paste Link' button and Select 'Microsoft Excel Workheet'. 

 

Issue: When I save changes to the excel sheet, they are rarely updated in the AutoCAD file.  Sometimes the changes do update in AutoCAD, but I don't know what I've done differently for it to work. 

 

Does anyone know why the changes won't update?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

<<<Process: I copy a section of an Excel sheet and choose 'Paste Special' in AutoCAD. Then I check off the 'Paste Link' button and Select 'Microsoft Excel Workheet'. >>>>

OK, fine

 

Did you try OLELINKS in Autocad, On Menubar > Edit > OLE links > Select type > Break Link.  its does not work

do Update Now.
