------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Aug 11 14:34:21 -0700 2005 ------- Have someone use AUTOCAD or AUTOCAD LT (Very expensive software that can do some engineering drawing... and pretty buggy also...)??? To make my life a little more easy i use spreadsheets to make some calculations, tables and copy them to autocad... I'm talking about autocad versions 2000-2006 (although 2004+ versions comes with this feature broken... and badly) Usually if you copy a spreadsheet formatted with borders,(image_1.jpg) you can paste it in autocad and get a table with strings... more exactly border lines and text. (image_2.jpg). Using OpenOffice 1.9.122 i can get way better results that do the same with M$ Excel in Autocad 2004+... but still fails something. #1: image_3.jpg... the borders are converted to squares (more exactly, a closed polyline of 4 vertex) in autocad. That shouldn't be a problem if you are using the drawings inside work... but at the moment to send this to clients this will be something anoying.. usually. #2: Import OLE limitations: For medium-large sheets (let's say more than 100 row's) you can't paste them in autocad fully... you get sometimes about 90-93 imported. The rest is lost. I blame windows, since AFAIK there are some Limitations in OLE capabilities built in windows. BTW, There's a workaround: To reduce the size of everything in the spreadsheed (eg. arial font go from 10 to 2.5 and rezise cells acordingly...) this way i can get some more cells imported. But for large spreadsheets this is no possible,and trying to copy 2 or more times part of the content it will be pasted... at differents sizes and scales... ok ok... i bet you may think now "this must be addresed at autodesk"... same think here, but the problem is that they only work at M$ level... So what i'm asking here: for #1: maybe some investigation to make the copy/paste from OOo to Autocad work as expected... (border = line... numbers and text = text) i think that was done before (otherwise no behavior like this would be done.. at least gnumeric for windows don't produce it (and nothing usable anyway...)). for #2: is possible to make an export option : save as DXF???... using the copy/paste capabilities of windows not always produce expected results... or to indicate to the OS a fixed size of the object to make autocad paste it at a fixed size??.. I think at least #1 can be done in OOo.. (i tried gnumeric, excel with no good results (gnumeric don't export cells at copy stage.. only text, and excel... weelll.. who cares??? ;-) ) I know this can be "exotic" since no so many people would use Autocad and OOo in their works, but i think that something can be done here. (or maybe not???). thanks for your time and sorry for my poor english.
