View 9 RepliesI would like to read a table that would be linked with block attributes. Like a table (either AutoCAD or Excel) of fluids with pressure, temperature, flowrate... that I would link to attributes. I tried to insert a field in the attribute, but what I've found in fields are properties like Color/Layer/Column/Rows ..

way I can link my AutoCAD title block attributes to excel and make changes in either excel or AutoCAD and then be able to run an update? The attributes would be “REV” “DWG_NO” “TITLE” “LOCATION” “DRAWING_SIZE” and “FILE NAME”.

I need to assign an attribute to a Polyline or Line so that the attributes can be viewed in GIS. I've noticed there is a way to convert AutoCAD to a SHP or SDP however I'm not familiar with this process.

(left=original, middle=ROTATE, right=PROPERTIES)
When I rotate blocks using ROTATE command everything is fine, but when I rotate blocks using PROPERTIES my attributes get messed.
I need to rotate several blocks at once with PROPERTIES, because I don't have time to rotate each one separately.
The same thing happens when scaling blocks, but this was resolved using the command BSCALE in the command line.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm messing around with tables and data links, practicing. I copied a range of cells in Excel, and did paste special to create a linked table.
Now I can delete the table object, but I cannot delete the link, cannot detach it.
When in Data Manager if I right click on the data link and click delete I get the error message "The data link is being used and cannot be deleted".
I have tried detaching, and the detach does not seem to take.
Now also, the table will not update from the source xls.
Win XP, AcadLT 2011, Office 2010. Using compatible setting for saving spreadsheet, for Office 2007 (not xlsx).
If I create a linked table by starting with the Table icon, choose "from a data link", choose the excel spreadsheet, etc., then I am able to later update the table from the spreadsheet, detach, delete the link, etc. But I can only delete the link if the table is not selected when I open the Data Link Manager.
But the one that was created following the directions from the Autocad video, with the copy, paste special, that link will not detach nor delete.
Is it possible to assign a type of link to an object or text where the user can open the document and click on the object which is on the first page and it will take them to a specified page set by the link? This is kind of like web design but not, know what I mean?

Reason being I am looping the blocks and creating attributes. sendcommand or SendStringToExecute occurs only after the .net command is finished. what I want is that it should sync attributes in the program itself.

BL:NAME C008000
DESCRIPTION C016000
I would eventually like to export several more attributes that my blocks have but I figure I should simplify it as much as possible for now. I do have a blank like at the end of the text script.
I've also attached my block that has the attributes I'm attempting to extract.
I have a block that is being inserted to my drawing via my .net program. The problem I am having is my attributes are centered, but the content coming from .net is not. If I change the attribute value in AutoCAD after the fact it goes back to being centered.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a map tool that can convert feature data from an SDF file or SHP to autocad block's with attributes data. My client just want blocks with attributes and dont work with sdf or similares, they extract the attributes and then work them in other software, so, i wonder if there is a autocad map tool that make the conversion from feature data SDF to blocks with attributes, that will make the work mutch more easier and fast.
Other question relational with blocks. How can we link block attributes and excell in real time, where i could change cells data in excell and the update happens in the open drawing and vice-versa?
And would like to know if there is a way to make this happen without vba tools or lisp's...just with map tools.

I'm a new at CAD Tutor but have been using autocad since R12 for DOS, I'm currently using AutoCAD 2011 MEP.
I received a file from an architect and the attributes don't burst and when I xref the file in to my drawing they don't show up. When I list the text, it says it is an 'Attribute Definition' but when I try and run attedit, the message says 'No object found'.
I believe the attribute problem is because the original file from the architect was made using Microstation and saved poorly to AutoCAD, but I'm not sure.

I am using the above code to read block attributes depending on the name. But now I need to read the active drawing (drawing will be open and should read from the active document). In the above code I have referenced interop.dll. without that can I retrieve the block attributes. How to read the block attributes from the active document.
I have a question about creating title blocks with attributes. I know how to create attributes and I know how to draw title blocks but when you create a title block with attributes does it have to be saved as a dwg when you do the wblock command? And what about the viewport? Do I have to create the viewport every time I insert the title block? Normally I just use the template I created and fill in the date, page number so on. I would like to automate this with attributes to reduce chances of mistakes.
