Exporting CAD block attributes to create a drawing index


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everyone, this is my first post here so hopefully it makes sense.

 

I am trying to find a way to create an index drawing without having to input much information in.

 

I would like to export the attributes from each drawing file in my (project folder) from the title-blocks (drawing numbers and descriptions) into excel and then be able to just datalink that into my Index table in AutoCAD. I know i could put the info in excel and import it into my table in CAD but i am looking for something more Automatic, so that everytime i need to create an index it will automatically extract the info from the drawing files title-blocks.

 

Thanks

Its a good idea to search the forum first your question/s have been answered before. Try Excel, Tables, datalink.
