Extract or Export Drawign Title Block

Extract or Export Drawign Title Block

(OP)
Hi,

I like to extract or export title block description from Acad drawing. Is there anybody have written a macro script to process this function? It will be nice to extract or export this title block or any desired information from the drawing to notepad or excel spreadsheet. I am not expert in this are, just a basic user. Please help or direct me to any third party application.

Thanks.

RE: Extract or Export Drawign Title Block

Hi ProtectionEngineer,

Lots of options here, if you just want plain vanilla attribute extraction, just use the "ATTEXT" command - this will create a text file, or CSV file (your choice) on your hard-drive.  Excel can either pick these up or you can venture into VB/VBA land and write a macro to do it for you.  There is an example of exporting attributes to Excel already with AutoCAD - just look in the samples directory.
