You say the information looks like a table. Could it just be plain text? Could this information be copied then pasted into Excel?
For future consideration if you have the need to work with the same information in both AutoCAD LT and Excel.

You're correct,
DATAEXTRACTION and
EATTEXT are not available in LT.
Check out ExcelLink. It exports attributes to Excel and - unlike EATTEXT - it can also link them bidirectionally (Excel<-->ACADLT). http://www.cadstudio.cz/excellink |
