    Posted: 24.Mar.2016 at 18:13
Hey guys.

I have an excel schedule full of entries (hundreds) of rectangles, with columns recording widths and heights of said rectangle. I need to get these rectangles (they represent paintings) drawn up in AutoCAD but cannot face the idea of drawing them individually without at least trying to find out if I can automate the process in some way. Googling didn't really help - so does anyone have any ideas? I'd be happy to type out the dimensions, but couple that with the interruption of clicking a few times and pressing D it's gonna take forever.
Thanks!

Research drawing in AutoCAD using Excel.  I think you'll find what you are looking for.
