Yes Mr.Robert. You can make AutoCAD table Entity if the source is excel cell content or you can make lines, rectangles,etc. as the same manner. Even you can convert your wordart as AutoCAD entity.\n\nStep By Step Procedure:\n1. Copy the cells into the clipboard which you want to make as AutoCAD drg.\n2. Open your AutoCAD drg and goto the "Edit" Menu and Select "Paste Special..." option\n3. From the "Paste Special" dialogue box, please select "AutoCAd Entities" in "As" list box. then clik "OK"\n4. Just place your table where ever you want. Now you can edit this table inside your AutoCAD drg.\n\nNote: I tryed this with AutoCAD 2006.\n\nTry Try Try!!!

Microstation is another drafting software, however, I believe AutoCAD is the most widely used.

I'd simply use a table, however if you want to get very detailed, you could use the Word Drawing tools to do this same thing

I've used AutoCad professionally, and IMHO it's a bit steep in price for less than very high volume work.  Also, even if your drawings are done in Autocad, the company building your desk will often want drawings done in "industry standard" formats so their workers can understand you drawing with the minimum number of phone calls for explanations, etc.  \n\nI'd recommend that you take a beginners' course in Autocad at a community college in your area.  That way you'll pick up the core basics of CAD (and drafting standards in general)  quickly, you can get any questions answered from a real live person, and you'll be able to get pointers on other lower cost drafting software from the instructor.\n\n-------\n\nAutocad (and CAD programs in general) are a whole lot better than the old manual "pencil and paper" "drawing board" methods (been there, etc.), as a time saver, especially for very detailed or large (buildings, cars) projects.  But even with CAD, you still have to be able to convey the required information to the shop making your stuff - which is why I still recommend taking the course from a real person who should have a handle on real-world requirements for drawings.

the units in the AutoCAD file and the 3dsMax file should be the same , in 3dsMAX open customize->units setup then chose"system units setup", be sure it's the same units used in the AutoCAD file,\nand also in the "Import file dialouge"in max,  mark the "rescale" button and chose the incoming drawing units\nanother thing to be considered affecting the accuracy of the import process is " how far is the drawing far from the Autocad file's origin, if it's so far, consider moving ALL the objects around the origin , so the origin will be in the center of the Objects, refer to Max's help file, autocad import section............

AUTOCAD; it is the most easy and user friendly software which can be used pretty well for any type of engg. drawing. This is not a freeware but you may find the pirated versions if you search among your friends.

Even though you are using the same program. An old program of AutoCAD simply can't open anything created/saved by a newer version. Only newer version can read old AutoCAD files.\n\nIf you still persist in opening it using your AutoCAD version 7 (I assume it is licensed), Have your files saved to version 7 first (if the new version have option to save files on lower version format)

If you are trying to buy AutoCAD inexpensively on a place like eBay, i highly recommend against trying it.  It will be useless to you because the software developer is very active in preventing distribution of its products from anyone who is not an authorized distributor.\n\nThe only way you'll know for sure is to go to the AutoDesk website and locate an authorized reseller.  If you want 2D and 3D capabilities, use regular AutoCAD.  If you only want 2D capabilities, use AutoCAD LT.\n\nIf you're looking for an inexpensive software, consider using TurboCAD.  It has a lot of similarities.
