attribute definitions
Hi,
I work with a simple block that mark objects ( survey based ) these blocks have a position which I can extract along with the name of the block using the attext command and an attext template ( attached )
EG, object 1-1 is placed at 178672.47,582684.45. when I attext the attributes, with the attext template I'm able to get a .CSV file containing the name of the object and it's position.
all's well here.
Now I want to add attributes to the block, as I want to be more specific about the objects defined.
EG, I wan't to add the depth ( Z ) and 2 other features to the object.
I want to be able to extract these atributes same way I extracted the name and X,Y.
and be able to vice versa, put object into the drawing based upon an excel sheet, or .csv with the attributes ; name, X,Y,Z, Am2 and nT defined...
anyone know how to do this?
I have attached the block with attributed definitions, the excel-list I want to be able to import and the Attext template I use to export the data to a .CSV.
in the proces, does anyone knows how to change the order of attributes? ( see .PNG )
kindest of regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,
One way to go from spreadsheet to dwg is to use the spreadsheet to build a script
http://www.cadconcepts.co.nz/news/generating-a-script-using-a-spreadsheet/.You may like to explore using DATAEXTRACTION as an alternative to ATTEXT.
You can use BATTMAN to reorder your attributes.
