SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on graphing functions using Microsoft Excel and transferring those graphs to AutoCAD. Users can create graphs in Excel by inputting data into a table and utilizing its built-in graphing tools. While AutoCAD does not have a direct function graphing capability, users can export graphs from Excel into AutoCAD. Additional tools mentioned include MathCad and GNU Plot for those seeking alternative graphing solutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Excel 2019 graphing features
  • Basic understanding of AutoCAD 2023 functionalities
  • Knowledge of data table creation in Excel
  • Awareness of alternative graphing tools like MathCad and GNU Plot
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create graphs in Microsoft Excel 2019
  • Learn the process of exporting Excel graphs to AutoCAD 2023
  • Explore the features of MathCad for advanced graphing
  • Investigate GNU Plot for alternative graphing methods
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineers, architects, and students who need to graph mathematical functions and integrate those graphs into design software like AutoCAD.

I'm trying to sketch a graph from a function of x on my computer. I suppose I can probably get this done in MS Excel, but I would then like to get this graph into AutoCAD since I don't know of any way to graph a function directly there. Is this possible at all...? I'm not sure how to get this done in Excel either, so if you can tell me that also that would be great! :)

I like MathCad. If you don't have a package like that, try this:

I am not a heavy Excel user, but I would guess there are plenty of ways to graph in it. And, I would think one could get an add-on package if there is not a default graphing mechanism. I do know that you can create a table of data and plot it in Excel.
 
you can try a basic tool such as GNU Plot.
