Is there a way of adding filepath and filename when extracting attribute data.
When I extract the attributes from the title-block and filename from all of my drawings, I want all rows to start with path and filename and then blockname and attributedata.
Is this possible

You are right on it.
I am trying to import drawings to a Document Management System and I need to be sure that each record includes filename and attribute tag data so the Document Info Record are correct before I import the files.
I will see if I can make it some other way.
Maybe someone else knows.
Thanks for your time

I undersand now what you mean.
The template file needs the ability to insert the filename/path into it.
Checking the AutoCAD help files, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.
I would consider adding this functionality to the "Combine Text Files" feature, so when you post-process the outputted "csv" or "txt" files, the filename/path is added to the outputted "combined text file", as the outputted filename is the same as the dwg that created it.
Does this make sense to you? Comments?

But this would have to be done in an update.

Hi Matts,
Could you please post your script?
You could add the $FILENAME$ and the $FILEPATH$ tags anywhere in the user script, and Hurricane will substitute them in to your compiled script.
Let me know!
