Importing Excel/CSV data into Property Lookup Table for dynamic blocks

[id_11]

Is there any LISP available to import data into the Property Lookup Table, from an Excel or CSV file.

Or any other methods?

Under the category of "other method" and along with a "caution" caveat, you can create a DXF file from a block drawing and then edit it to add rows of a lookup table using a text editor/ excel or directly modify contents of existing rows. It is best to have an entire drawing dedicated to one dynamic block and be sure to identify the correct Lookup Table if the drawing has more than one.

This method should not be used unless you are very comfortable working in DXF  (see the caution below).

Thanks for posting. It must have taken a while to prepare.

I spent some time looking at the instructions but could not fully understand. I'm not familiar with DXFs, maybe that's why.

Would it be more likely to produce errors than with the Property Lookup Table?

I wanted to use Excel because checks can be carried out by summing ranges, etc.
