In the middle column, choose the 'Position' property.

In the Field Names list on the left, click 'BlockPlaceholder', this is a special area only available during block building.

To the right of the Value field, click the 'Insert Field' button.

Enter NORTHING for the tag and prompt fields.

Turn on the Preset toggle in the upper left, this makes for faster inserts as AutoCAD won't prompt for the attribute values (which is automatic anyway).

Draw the desired point identifying geometry, such as a circle at 0,0 with a radius of 0.25.

Enter the desired name, like COORDBLOCK and chose OK.

This procedure will explain how to create a coordinate label block that updates as you move or copy it.

Choose OK to redefine the block with the new description.

Click in the lower 'Description' section and enter the description.

Later versions of AutoCAD have the ability to add descriptions to the block definitions in the drawing. You will have the definition in the current drawing for latter use. After issuing the insert command and selecting the file, press the ESC key at the first (insertion point) prompt.

If you want to bring in only the definition of a block (such as a symbol on disk), you can use this little known trick. When selecting objects for a block definition, first individually pick the attribute definitions individually in the order you want to be prompted, then select the rest of the geometry. If you simply window off the geometry there is a good possibility the prompt order will not be as desired. When building the block definition, the selection order is the key. How do I control the prompt order for attributes?

Erase the outer border and background solid to reveal a good looking collection of native geometry.

In AutoCAD, issue the PASTESPEC command again, choose AutoCAD entities.

In AutoCAD, right click on the chart and choose CUT.

In AutoCAD, issue the PASTESPEC command, choose Excel Chart, your only choice at this point.

In Excel, copy your graph to the clipboard.

Use this procedure to 'shake off' the OLE. When you paste pie/bar graphs from Excel into AutoCAD, they can exhibit all the problems of a typical OLE insert, including plot rotation, etc. If the link is not required, you may be able to get more of the data into AutoCAD by using the Paste Special option from the menu and choosing an option like 'AutoCAD Objects'. When you use the ole link, you lose rows and/or columns.

When you look at the clipboard viewer, you should see that the Windows clipboard has limited the data when presented in certain 'flavors'. It will be in the System Tools section of the Windows Setup tab. If you don't have this program you will need to use the Add/Remove Programs applet of the Windows Control Panel to add it. You will find the clipboard viewer in the accessories or system tools section of the Windows start menu. To see a graphical example of this, select a large range in the spreadsheet, then look at the clipboard viewer. There is a limit, and that limitation is not necessarily AutoCAD's fault. Is there a limit on rows/columns from my OLE spreadsheet? All materials are to be considered 'as-is', and use of any information should be considered as AT YOUR OWN RISK!
