AutoCAD 2010 :: Attext Output File Give A Lot Of Extra Empty Values
Jun 10, 2013
Attext output file give a lot of extra empty values when template file include attributes from more than one block.
The drawings I want to extract data from has two blocks with attributes. If I make the template file with attributes from both blocks, I get a lot of extra empty values. If I split the template file in two with the attributes from each block in each template file, the output file is OK.
A copy of the same attributs giving different number of values. (Block REV)
Two template files - 'REV','A','28.03.92','ISOLA','FS','SM','KJ' (Block name + 6 att)
One template file - 'REV','','','','','','','','','','','','A','28.03.92','ISOLA','FS','SM','KJ' (Block name + 17 att.)
How can I get a clean output file giving only the number of values the template file is asking for when the template file has attributes from two blocks? I use ACAD 2010.

I'm trying to extend the edges of a number of images to give myself extra bleed room for print. The images have bits that are a little too near the edge and I need more room. The effect I'm looking for is repeating the final edge row of pixels for 1/8 of an inch beyond the original image on all side.
The obvious solution, manually repeating the row of pixels is too time consuming for the number of images I need to format.
The solution would have been simple if the imbeciles at adobe hadn't moved the "extend edges" option to the Oh-So-Useful auto lens correction tab in the lens correction filter. (how I HATE thee, Adobe)... Alas, I'm using CS5 and need an alternative solution.

I work with land surveying, and I'm a complete newbie to CAD. I use AutoCAD LT 2010, and I am having trouble getting some coordinates from a file.
I receiveda dwg file containing three adjoining lines and two ducts. Now I need to extract the coordinates (x,y) and some kind of point number/name so that I can use the data in a text file or in Excel.
I have tried the ATTEXT command, but it doesn't work. I don't even know if the template file I created is correct, because I suspect the main problem lies in the fact that the points along the line have no attributes.
how do I get the data I need? Do I have to assign attributes to the points before I can extract the coordinates? And what should the template file look like?

When in Paperspace and using the Plot icon and choose Printer Name "PublishToWebJPG.pc3" I get a JPG created that is size 32 bytes, but is empty.
I need to create JPGs of drawings for a document. I have attached an example DWG and a resulting JPG.
BTW: I did try using SAVEIMG - as JPG, TIF, PNG - it does create an image with the title block, but not the model content.

PS CS 5.5.I want to replace color with a particular R,G,B value, but PS insists on some sort of difference setting that is not standard. Clicking on Final Value in the Replace Color window and entering treal values there has no affect, or has some seemingly arbitrary effect.

I'm using Autocad 2011 and trying to convert a 2D drawing into 3D using a Loft tool. However, I'm experiencing a bit of a problem. The Loft tool is creating an extra line between the two objects which messes up part of the design. I'm usind Solid and Ruled settings of the Loft tool and the two object I'm trying to join were created out of number of polylines which then were converted into singular poline using Edit Polyline tool.

I am trying to leave a SSM field empty on some sheets (Custom Property set to Sheet).
I am using SIMPLEX font in ACAD 2012 on Win 7 64bit.
I have tried using %%U as both default value and sheet value and I get a dot plotted.
If I use U+00A0 or Alt+0160 as default or sheet value I get the actual code showing or the 4 dashes instead of a space.
I have also tried 2 spaces to no avail.
Looks like the only solution is to delete the link to the field and insert it when I use it. Annoying :-(
how to get an empty field??

Lisp file to give texts a background.
It would be great if there is a lisp file that” manages to give all the texts (dimension text, leader text, attributes, regular text, text in blocks, fields, etc.) a WHITE background. This is quite essential since the text should not be overlapped with other objects and must be read easily on the plan sends all text (dimension text, leader text, attributes, regular text, text in blocks, fields, etc.) to front.

create a usable template file that ATTEXT can use to extract attribute information from blocks. The goal is to construct a small building within ACAD (before the first piece of material is cut or even bought) exclusively from blocks with attribute information for each block and then to extract what will end up being a bill of materials and cost sheet. (in lieu of my normal approach of hand sketching, trial and error cutting and fitting as I go along).
I have read the manual 4 - 5 times, followed instructions exactly (or at least think I have), reviewed postings here (and then trying different way). Nothing works. I have even created a single block in single file with one attribute to simplify it. Anyway, same error comes back every time. The current, extremely simplified, PracticeExtractAttributes.txt (template file) file reads:
BL:MYBLOCK C01500
STICKNAME C01500
with MYBLOCK being the block name and STICKNAME being the tag name for one attribute from the drawing. Same error.
Note: although I use ACAD very infrequently I have been using it since (if I recall correctly) 2.56 back in the 80s and currently use 2000.
PS the ATTEXT will create a DXX file with the information in it (hence my conclusion the problem is in the template file), but that would require me to spend hours and hours writing code to parse the DXX file (once I had the format figured out) to get the info out.

The attached DWG contains a big block with a visibility parameter which can make the red hatch invisible. This block also contains some dynamic blocks which have automatic attributes and it also contains one attribute (value = 7777).
There are some more blocks for testing in the drawing, some have a visibility parameter, some don't.
All attributes have the same name LAENGE.
Now use ATTEXT on all blocks with the attached template. You will get all attributes, but from the big red block you get only "7777".
Now open the block editor and remove the visibility parameter from the big red block and save it. Then use ATTEXT again - and now you will get all attributes from the dynamic blocks.
How can I get all attributes from blocks with visibility parameter?
(I am using ACAD LT 2010.)

I am fishing around for information that will abstract my macro one more level. I coded an excel macro to run the following statement on a given set of drawings:
DWG.SendCommand ("FILEDIA" & vbCr & "0" & vbCr & "-ATTEXT" & vbCr & "C" & vbCr & ExtTemplate & vbCr & ExtPath & vbCr & "Y" & vbCr & "FILEDIA" & vbCr & "1" & vbCr)
Yielding text files which I consolidate into Excel to generate a full attribute extraction of the drawing set. My question concerns the extraction template file used in the ATTEXT command (shown as ExtTemplate in the code above). As it stands now, the Excel user must provide the attribute tags they want to extract and then I generate the proper extraction template in the background. My goal would be to eliminate this step from the user side and simply extract all attributes in the drawing instead of a designated few.
If you know a better way to do this using the ATTEXT command or a way to do this without the ATTEXT command at all, I would be grateful to hear it. From my current perspective however, I believe I would need to query the drawing to get a list of all attribute tags it contains, then configure the extraction template to use all the tags from that query. I cannot figure out a way to generate this list of tags. So, that is my question

I am having an issue with the sheet set manager's tool to insert sheet list table. I have a new sheet set for a new project that was created entirely in Autocad 2012. When I try to insert a new sheet list table, after I click OK in the Sheet list Table dialoge box, it simply closes to an empty command line with nothing inserted. Why nothing is inserted?

Is there a way to have attributes automatically update? For example, we often "save block as" from block editor to create a new block. We usually have block name on defpoints layer so designers can see block name on screen.
We now have to edit this text each time new block is created from existing block. If default value of attribute could be the block name it would save time and errors.

Currently have a template setup which we use and when everything is erased, purged, audited etc and the file literally cannot be purged any more the filesize is still 10mb.
There however several hundred items in the "Blocks" section of the purge dialogue box under "View items you cannot purge"..how do you get rid of these?
we have files containing hardly anything which are 20mb and empty files which are 10mb,

How to get attribute values to match in the same block? In my titleblock have the clients name displayed a couple of time in the block. I want to be able to change the clients name in one spot and have it change in the other. I have tried to use fields but the field will only display the default value of the attribute.

I have a attributed block with multiple attributes (called pkey). In some cases these block attributes will the same values save for one, "Total".
example:
pkey #1
Value AA, Value BB, Value CC, Total 20
pkey #2
Value AA, Value BB, Value CC, Total 30
Is there a way by which I can have AutoCad group these blocks together (when extracted into a table for example) and have the SUM of those "Totals" added together to produce a result such as:
Value AA, Value BB, Value CC, Total 50.
I've explored using fields, but I don't think they work in this case, unless I'm using them wrong.

How to avoid the conflict between the “attribute” values?
I wanted to label the points (stored in txt file) using the lisp file ascpoint.lsp; This requires to build a block with 4 attribute values,But how to ensure that there is no conflict between the labels of the coordinates represented in the 4 attributes? They may overlap depending on the number of characters of the value of each attribute (coordinate).

The user has Autocad 2014 64 bit Service Pack 1 running over Windows 7 Pro. Everything is working fine until she receives .dwg files from a supplier that uses Autocad 2010. When she opens those files, the screen is empty, no crash/freeze, no error message, just a black background. The other opened files are still there in the background.
The only way she can open the file is by asking a colleague, also running Autocad 2010, to open the file and convert it using the WBLOCK command. After the conversion the Autocad 2014 user can open the file without issues.

I have a drawing that has a filesize of 10meg even when there are no entities in the drawing.There are about 1000 lietypes in the drawing but it wont let me purge them out.These are what are most likely causing the bloat.Some things I have tried without success...
Erase all then purge 3x and audit then purge 3x then audit. Qselect shows no entities in drawing.Save back to acad 2007 and repeat above

I have recently encountered a problem when exporting C3D to V8 dgn. The proxy graphics are set to 1, and I'm using a 3D seed file. Once the file is exported, the dgn file size is no larger than the seed file, and I am being told that the file is completely blank. I've run a recovery, audit - everything I can think of the correct this. I even had a co-worker try and generate a dgn from the same file with the same result.
