Managing seating chart with excel/2016 AutoCAD LT
Hi all,
I’m seeing who can help me out. I’m managing seating charts for multiple floors in an office building and am seeing the easiest ‘automated’ way of updating them. I currently just have the floor layout, no seat numbers, names, etc… on the drawing.
At my previous job there we had a system to make the moves/adds/changes in excel and import to CAD via a command, it would then update the employee names in their physical spots on the drawing.
What’s the easiest way to get this going?
Thanks for any help!

Yah I figured it'd take a lot of setup. Eventually I'm moving to Facilities Managemnt software, but wanted to streamline the process for now. I have to input the intinal info anyway, so figured I'd see what I have to do to make it easier down the line.

I put together a response before i realized this was an old thread.. cest la vie
You could use data links.
First set up your Spread sheet that you will manage.
next got to CAD and type in DATALINK
create new and name it. You will have to do this for every seat location. so if there are 300 seats you will need 300 datalinks (unless you just want them all in a table)
Select a single cell for each link (unless you want a table)
once you have you data links created you place them where you want them by inserting a table in CAD and selecting datalinks as the source.
now you have the info in CAD linked to your excel file.
if you change it in excel you will get a notice in CAD.
click on the update tables link and the chages will be reflected in CAD.
