EDIT OR TRANSLATE ALL TEXT INSIDE DWG FILES DIRECTLY FROM EXCEL

EDIT OR TRANSLATE ALL TEXT INSIDE DWG FILES DIRECTLY FROM EXCEL

(OP)
I would appreciate some feedback on performance of the translation utility for Autocad,
freely available for download on
www.homescript.com

It has two functions.

TextOut of all drawings; this batch process exports all text, attributes and blocked text from all drawings into an excel file. Its uses are:
-Catch typing mistakes after sorting in Excel.
-Locate drawings by searching for text inside them; the search done inside Excel file and when text found then full path of drawings containing it are also found.
-Achieve standard notation for thousands of drawings.

TranslateAllDrawings; this has infinite uses. Correcting typing mistakes or translating from one language to another. All text management is done in Excel with convenient sort, copy, paste. Then at one click all the corrections flow into all drawings.

The same Excel word list can be used again and again on batches of drawings.

Corrections of a hundred drawings takes one click and ten minutes of watching the monitor while drawin gs open and close automatically.

Lets have some feedback please, especially on latest versions of Autocad.

Thanks
