Anyone know of a way to import AutoCAD text into Excel? I've tried some of the autolisp files available on the net (example textout.lsp) but can't get them to create the text file. Any help would be appreciated.

contains several Text Export routines. Export text in the order selected or simply window off the text and choose the 'topdown' option. The most elaborate routine allows you to simply window off a table of text in the drawing, BOM's for example. It determines the number and order of the rows/columns of text objects automatically and exports the information to a comma delimited file that can be opened up directly in Excel.
