Creating Tables in AutoCAD 2004

[mendesdusters]

Does anyone have tips on quickly creating tables in 2004 using information from excel or tab delimited text files? Ideally I want to write an .lsp function that takes a .txt and creates a nice looking table, but I do not know where I should start.

Hi mendesdusters,

I personally use VBA for this but it's been a while. Back when I created drawing indexes, it was much easier using blocks for the grid lines with attributes rather than to try and dynamically create the table but it can be done.

You might check

or

and see if something like this exists already that you can modify to suit your needs.
