Carlson (ex. DotSoft) XL2CAD v8.3.1.8
XL2CAD overcomes the limits and problems associated with OLE placement of Excel spreadsheets inside AutoCAD, BricsCAD and IntelliCAD. It instantly draws the Excel spreadsheet in CAD using native geometry and links it. The results are lines, fills and mtext that can plot without problems and is highly portable to others.
When XL2CAD creates the table in the drawing, it stores extended data on the insert. Since the date and time of creation (along with the spreadsheet file name) is stored, it can easily determine when the table representation needs updating. So when you reopen your drawing, XL2CAD quickly evaluates the tables in the drawing(including xrefs) and automatically updates only those that have changed!
Having an accurate and usable representation of your spreadsheet does not mean a compromise on speed. Our fast Excel read engine means most sheet-sized tables process in less than one second! The example above processed in 1.1 seconds, even with 147 hatched areas!
We understand that you want to keep your CAD drawing size small and regenerates fast. That's why we optimize the geometry we create. If the same lineweight is used across the entire row, we create one line, not one for each cell. We also merge adjacent fills and hatches resulting in the smallest block possible.
