Drawing access database

Drawing access database

Drawing access database

(OP)
Is there any way i can life link a attributed title block into an Access data base.

As at the moment I extract the information via a script file, the merge all the information together, then import it into Acess.

My goal is to have it so I update the database the drawing'll update and vise versa.

cheers,

I have tryed, you mentioned that you too are trying to do the same. Have you had any success by linking it and getting it to work???

RE: Drawing access database

Hi,
If you know VB, you could write a macro that should be easier than a script routine. You would just get the Access object and the Title Block reference and push and pull the info to Access. I know this is a real general answer but it may be the easiest in the long run.
