There is a YouTube video by Paul Sampson about how to draw windows and doors using Excel data.  No matter what you are drawing the same method should work.  Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to post a link to the video but it should be easy to find using a search based on the following..."Excel to AutoCAD"+"Drawing windows and doors"The video is almost 12 minutes long.
