Ding Jian-mei · Journal of Engineering Graphics · 2002
AutoCAD and Word, Excel software are used widely in many aspects of engineering design. It's difficult to make standard engineering drawing in Word software. It usually also be inconvenient to form texts or tables in the civil engineering drawing files in AutoCAD. Some explored works in this paper indicated that texts or tables formed in Word or Excel in advance by means of paste and advantageous software features can be conveniently inserted into the relative drawing files in AutoCAD, and the satisfied results are achieved. A series of technique problems in the conversion between drawing and text in AutoCAD and Word, Excel software is discussed in detail in this paper, and some problems derived from the correlative design in different software files are solved.
