If you insert a spreadsheet as an AutoCAD entity, a Table object that can be edited directly using default program tools will be created.

If you insert documents as Text or Unicode Text, the document can be rotated and edited using the MTEXT editor.

Method 2 (for text, table or other objects)ĭata you have copied from the Windows clipboard can be inserted into a drawing file several ways. On the Edit menu, click Paste Special to see a variety of alternatives to OLE object insertion.

In AutoCAD® 2007 and newer products, linked image files can be managed using Tools > Palettes > External References. Image files can be inserted into a drawing file by clicking Raster Image on the Insert menu or by entering IMAGE at the command prompt. Inserted raster images are different from OLE objects in several ways. Inserted raster images are linked to the drawing file instead of embedded which can reduce file size.

If rotation is required, consider one of the following alternate methods for inserting external data into your drawing: It is not possible to rotate an inserted OLE object or perform a rotated plot or publish operation on OLE data. In general, OLE objects have fewer modifcation options than other drawing objects.
