Block Attributes to File Properties Utility

Block Attributes to File Properties Utility

Block Attributes to File Properties Utility

(OP)
I am looking for a batch utility that will read the information contained within a block's attributes.  Then write that information along with the tag name into the file properties of dwg file.  Does anyone know if such a utility exists?

RE: Block Attributes to File Properties Utility

No, I believe you would need to create that yourself. Each can be accomplished, but not as a single step.

RE: Block Attributes to File Properties Utility

(OP)
There is a command in the Express Tools called Propulate.  It allows one to do exactly what I had asked in my first post.  However you need to specify the Tag Name and the information that you wish copied over to the DWG properties in a template file and this is block specific.  Now I just need a utility to batch rename all of our T-Blocks to the our current standard (we have 25 or more different T-Blocks within our legacy data)
