Joeychgo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Here's the problem, I have two identical computers (dell 745's) running windows 7 and Autocad 2012 (64bit). on one machine opening a drawing which has is a linked OLE document everything displays properly. On the other machine the same drawing is opened and only the top 1/4 or so of the OLE document is displayed in the area allocated to the OLE. This drawing also displays correctly on a HP laptop running win 7 and autcad2012. I have dumped the variables from all three machines using setvar and copy and pasting and can see nothing that is different between the machines. Why would one environment treat OLE's different? I've used this method a lot in the past using acad2008/win xp pro and did run into a file occasionally the would mess with the OLE but it's been limited to one file once in a while. Now since I've upgraded this one machine refuses to handle any OLE's. I like the editing commands in word better the the limited commands in AutoCAD tables or Exel for that matter. So far I haven't needed more than the one page of inserted document this method gives me What variable or settings affect ole's? Quote
ReMark Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 What are some of the better editing commands in Word that are unavailable to you in MTEXT? Just curious. Re: OLE system variables.... Quote
f700es Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 OK silly questions but is the file a .doc or the newer .docx? Do both machine have the same version of MS Office installed? Just trying to eliminate the obvious 1st. Quote
RobDraw Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I used to have trouble with Excel OLE's getting cropped. Changing the display resolution on the computer would fix it. Quote
