DataExtraction - Custom Drawing properties

in 2D Drafting

Dear All,

Is there a way to extract from the Dataextraction command some custom Drawing properties. I mean I wish to extrac blocks from my drawings includings some attributes, Fileneme and a custom drawing property (Filename and custom drawing property are common to all blocks). I can Extract Filename but not the custom drawing property.

If it is not possible, is there a formula to extract a string of character from the Filename (character 5 to 10 for instance)

TY

    Sounds like you need a custom Dataextraction lisp. Most times Dataextract does not meet requirements you need a custom program.

    Re filename you use the substr function in lisp eg (substr str 1 5) .

    If you have Title blocks with attributes can get any or all attributes from each title block.

    If you post a sample dwg with a title block and specify which attributes you want should be quick to produce something.
