Can I create a table in DraftSight that is linked to an external spreadsheet?
I cannot get Insert object to do what I want.
I can do this in AutoCAD with DATALINK;
- In your table, select the table cell to link.
- On either the Table ribbon contextual tab or Table toolbar, click Link Cell.
- In the Data Link Manager tree view, select Click to Create a New Excel Data Link.
- In the Enter Data Link Name dialog box, enter a name for the data link. Click OK.
- Click the [...] button to browse for the XLS or CSV file to link.
- In the New Excel Data Link dialog box, do one of the following:
- Select Link to a Named Range. Click OK.
- Select Link to Range. Enter a valid range from the Excel spreadsheet (for example, A1:D17). Click OK.
- Select the new data link in the Data Link Manager tree view. Click OK.
