AutoCAD Text File Linker is a tool that dynamically links text files to AutoCAD drawings, similar to an Xref. It works with AutoCAD version 14 and above, and is very user-friendly.
With this software, your text is contained in a block, making it easy to insert, edit, and update. Even without xText installed on a machine, there is no visual degradation, meaning that no proxy graphics are necessary.
To streamline the process, four basic commands are available: Insert, Edit, Update, and Update-All. Note that the Update-All feature is non-functional in the demo version.
It's worth noting that this version only supports ASCII files. However, if you need a software solution for linking text files to AutoCAD drawings, this product is definitely worth considering.
