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?
 
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)
