A%20-%20answer You can use OLE objects for this. In AutoCAD, use the command.asp?cmd=INSERTOBJ" rel="nofollow - INSERTOBJ command, choose "From file", pick your .DOC (.XLS, etc.) file and check the "Link" option, end the dialog by OK. Right-click on the inserted OLE object to set its properties (scale, display quality, etc.) Any subsequent change in the .DOC file will reflect (on DWG reopen) in AutoCAD.

Please note that AutoCAD versions up to 2004 have some issues with exact placement, fonts and plot quality of OLE objects embedded in a drawing.

I understand how to insert my file as an OLE linked object but when I do so from a multi-page document, I only get the first page or so. How do I get the whole document to appear?
