Excel table insertion

Any tips or tricks when inserting excel tables in DCAD?
There is not much in the reference manual.

I have found that a mono-spaced font eg "courrier new" in windows is required.
It seems that all worksheets are imported..can this be controlled?
How are column widths controlled? I have some columns that are twice the width of the inserted text!
Word wrap does not seem to be retained?

etc.


Thanks

John,

One way that this could be accomplished is to use a pdf writer/editor to make a jpg of the spreadsheet. After the image is created, it can be inserted into Datacad. As you update the spreadsheet, just update/replace the image. I have found that importing spreadsheets causes cell formatting to change.

I hope this is helpful.
