Hi All,

 

I am trying to find a shorter way of updating room and employee data in the drawing. The room number and employee name has been created as an attribute. I have extracted all the data and modified it on excel. Is there a way that i can link this updated data back in CAD so that the previous data in my drawing automatically get updated.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks

Please check the ATTIN command (part or Express extension); this will allow you to import values for attributes from an Excel (CSV format) file, but I don't think that is possible to make a link (that it, for automated update) between those.

Hi Mircea,

 

Yes I finally figured that out. Exported all my attribute data, modified in excel and imported that back in. Worked like a charm and saved a ton of time.

 

Thanks for you help though.

Aby
