I don't use excel very much but I'm looking for a method to export this type
of sheet so that I can use the content in a autocad script file.
cuurently I use a vba app I've written that collect the file names and
location and a start prefix for dwg no, (see below, results) this loops
thru the
file string and places the other coordinate data and commands in a batch
string. currenly I have 4 different routines that I must run to complete the
title block
information. what I am interested in learning is if those 4 routnes could be
generated from excel becuase all the strings reside in the excel document.

any direction you can provide is appreciated

this is the bulk of how I was generating the script file below
'sample sheet number G1.1
' Dim dwgprefix As String
' Dim dwgstart As Integer
' Dim dwgendnumber As Integer
' Dim dwgend As String
' Dim dot As String
' dwgprefix = TextBox1 'G
' dwgstart = TextBox2 '1
' dwgendnumber = TextBox3 ' 1
' dwgend = dwgprefix & dwgstart & "." & dwgendnumber

Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()

dwgendnumber = TextBox3

dwgend = dwgprefix & dwgstart & "." & dwgendnumber
'here is were it opens drawings from listbox2
