Exporting Text by layer to an Excel File

[Anonymous]

HI,

I read the post for when this question was previously asked and do not understand it.  I simply need to export all text BY LAYER in my drawing, preferably to a format that I can import into Excel.  What is the easiest way to do this please?  Thanks

Hello

1) Please do a standard selection with a Windows !

2) When asking for the Export Filename ...

21) Please navigate to the good folder

22) then write for example :  wings.txt  OR  wings.csv

23) Question for the separator --->  ;

Is it OK now ?

Hello

You are happy so I am happy !

If you want to have always a routine loaded at anytime, please :

APPLOAD <Enter>

On the lower right of the dialog box, use the icon to ADD this "EXPORT-TEXT.lsp" to your ACAD environment/profil !

Quit ACAD, Relaunch and now "EXPORT-TEXT" is always loaded and ready to run ...

THANKS .... I think I did this correctly, now when I reopen AutoCAD it says this every time, is there a way I can tell it to stop asking me this?

Hello

YES it's normal because this folder is NOT an approved path for ACAD !

The easiest way to solve it  --->  SECURELOAD = 0

or add this folder to secure ACAD folders ...
