Excel Setup Instructions

For Excel2DWG to create output files, its add-in module has to be added to Excel.

Important: If you have file extensions turned off (the ridiculous Windows default), it is suggested you right-click the files to make sure you are selecting the correct XLA/XLAM file. Alternatively, the Excel2DWG.xlam file size is about a third of the Excel2DWG.xla file.
