Found a great example of writing excel text to .dxf

But does any one know how, where or what lines the dxf file requires to box the text ect..?

I know this thread is quite old, however I figured I would post my findings in case anyone else is interested.

Recently I was looking for something similar (ability to create and view DXF drawings inside excel) and found a reasonably priced excel add-in. It creates DXF files, generates previews and allows for multiple objects.

Excel Draw

I don't know if this would help anyone but it certainly saved me time.

Hope that helps!
