Microstation Table Exporter is an Add-in for Microsoft Excel that easily and quickly exports tables from Excel to Microstation. Why do I need MSTE? What's wrong with copy-paste? Microstation does not handle pasted tables very well on its own. Pasted tables come in to Microstation as pictures. Since Microstation handles pasted tables as pictures you cannot customize them as you might need to. Say you have a client that specifies what fonts and line weights your drawings are to be submitted in. Many clients want to have electronic copies of the finished product and will specify what levels to use. Since you cannot customize pasted tables, any tables that would need to be on your drawings would have to be draw manually. This can take a very long time, especially if there are multiple tables on multiple sheets.
