Here is my set of routines, I may have missed including some helper routines. I use it with a reactor to automatically export my symbol and ight fixture blocks and then I have an excel spreadsheet that reads the data files to create schedules. An example export is attached.

 

(defun c:SAA_ExportKeynoteValues ()
  (SAA_ExportKeynoteValues
    (list
      "#" "DOOR" "DTL" "E" "FLR1" "FUNCTION" "GLAZING" "KEYNOTE" "LOCATION" "MATERIAL"
      "MAT1" "MAT2" "MOD" "MOD1" "MOD2" "MODIFIER" "NOTES" "NUMBER" "SHT" "TYPE"
      "WIN" "WT" "WIDTH" "x" "HEIGHT"
    ) ;_list
  ) ;_SAA
  (princ)
)

(defun SAA_ExportKeynoteValues (tagList / tagList ss i aList csvfilename)
  (if (setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "INSERT")
                             (-4 . "<OR")
                                (-4 . "<AND")(2 . "sym*")    (8 . "A-Anno*")    (-4 . "AND>")
                                (-4 . "<AND")(2 . "p-light*")(8 . "A-Clng-Lfix")(-4 . "AND>")
                             (-4 . "OR>")
                             (66 . 1)						 ;66 filters for blocks with attributes (assumed meaning?)
                            ))
                ) ;_ssget
    (progn
      ;; create header (in reverse order of txt export file)
      (setq aList (list "EXPORTDATE" "BLOCKNAME" "HANDLE" ))
      (foreach tag tagList (setq aList (cons tag aList)))
      (setq aList (list (SAA_List2String (reverse aList) "\t")))
      ;; cycle through blocks and create list of attribute values

A quick and dirty, if happy post in your other forums where you have asked.

 

(defun c:attex ( / blkname ss blk xy att str fo)
(setq fo (open (setq fname "D:\\acadtemp\\attexport.csv") "w"))
(setq blkname (cdr (assoc 2 (entget (car (entsel "\nPick block for name "))))))
(prompt "\nSelect blocks ")
(setq ss (ssget (list (cons 0 "INSERT")(cons 2 blkname))))
(repeat (setq x (sslength ss))
(setq str "")
(setq blk (ssname ss (setq  x (1- x))))
(setq xy (cdr (assoc 10 (entget blk))))
(setq str (strcat blkname "," (rtos (car xy) 2 3)  "," (rtos (cadr xy) 2 3)))
(foreach att (vlax-invoke (vlax-ename->vla-object blk) 'getattributes)
(setq str (strcat str "," (vla-get-textstring att)))
)
(princ str)
(write-line str fo)
)
(close fo)
(princ)
)
(c:attex)
