I was trying to Edit-Paste-Special some excel spreadsheets panels.xls into AutoCAD but it no longer has this "Edit-Paste-Special" feature! What do you do now to insert spreadsheets as usable text? Thanks.

try using the paste as autocad entity option after copying from excel.

 
What I meant was AutoCADD 2002 no longer has edit-paste-special as AutoCADD entity, rather as edit-paste-special %PRODUCT type, which does not work with my excel spreadsheets. Anyone out there with a solution? Thanks-
 
I don't know about your cad2002 program, if can not use paste we can use lisp program.
 
Under insert OLE object inside AC 2002 you can do what you want even with Excel or other specified object types!
Actually, Paste-Copy works as good as always!
Hope this help!
 
I was trying to Edit-Paste-Special some excel spreadsheets panels “nn.xls” format into AutoCAD 2002 but it no longer has this "Edit-Paste-Special" as “AutoCAD entity” feature! Rather as “edit-paste-special” as “%PRODUCT entity type” which does not work with my excel spreadsheets.
What do you do now to insert spreadsheets as “usable text” e.g. “not a picture-real modifiable text”, anyone out there with a solution? Thanks.
 
There are some commercial products and some freeware products that translate Excel spreadsheets to AutoCAD editable tables. Look on some of the CAD-related sites, or maybe tucows.

I have found that the best tool for this, and for many other options is ToolPac from dotsoft.com

I am a user only and also do not receive anything from this. Only trying to help. Same as Pardal.
