Block to/ from Excel® and more...

This App can read, edit & write back Block attributes, fields, custom properties of many blocks in multi drawings, including complicated ones which contain Visibility states, Block Properties Tables, and Lookup tables

Batch editing process is made easy with the help of Excel® Autofill.

Best for:

• Batch filling Title block attributes with the help of AUTOFILL.  With the latest version, user can clone/copy Field codes between block instances or batch filling attributes with raw text values.

• Read and update device status with Multiple Visibility States dynamic blocks.

• The typical workflow is Export - Edit - Reimport.

2 work modes:

• For Multi-files processing, it's not necessary to open the drawing on-screen or manually select the Excel data range, just add files to the list, fill in parameters per file, and then export or import.

• For active drawing processing, the drawing should be active, Data is export at Excel active cell and Excel data range should be pre-selected before import.

Exported /imported Information includes:

• Block insertion point (X, Y, Z) & rotation angle (in radian)

• Block attributes (Visibility state, Block properties table value set are supported) values

• Block attributes' field code (if any)

• Custom (Dynamic) Properties (Visibility state, Lookup table parameter, Block properties table value set are supported)

What's new in this App

• Unlike classic commands (ATTIN, ATTOUT), this App can extract coordinates and layout names which are useful for sorting block instances.

• Unlike the new powerful DATA EXTRACTION command, this app can re-import values from worksheets to update existing drawing block instances. Also, exporting/importing procedures are minimized to save time.

• The enhanced version now supports multi-file processing with jet speed (10x-20x times faster than the Free version).

 Typical working scenarios are:

• Batch numbering, naming, resizing... title block instances: By using attribute / dynamic blocks as a title block, users can export attributes (drawing number/ name/ title...), and custom properties (paper size, visibility state...)   to Excel.   Editing attributes and/or custom properties... with the help of Excel Data Sort & Autofill feature.  Re-import those updated values and the nightmare manual work of typing sheet number, title, revision... is done with ease.

• Rebuild the drawing list from the existing attribute block (used as drawing title block);

• Update coordinate attributes of block references: Export block instances' positions, copy new coordinate values X Cad, Y Cad columns to attribute column; re-import from Excel to update;

• Exported block coordinates can be used for inquiry Station- offset, use Station offset for further sorting/editing;

• Read, and update electrical, hydraulic... device status in a network.
