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.

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.
