Hi anto1,
I'm curious... what type of information are you are trying to pull into your attributes?
Bill is right... there is no straight forward approach, BUT I have successful done just this using combinations of TAGS, PROJECT TAGS, and TAG TEMPLATE loading. I better mention METAS also, as they are probably in every script I have. They smooth out the basic stuff. You kind of need to think things through in the beginning, but once you're scripted...  |

Hi anto1,
There isn't a script to do that, as normal scripts are totally dumb, i.e. AutoCAD simply follows EXACTLY what is in the script. (Hurricane scripts can contain tags, so are "semi-dumb" or "semi-smart" (depends how you look at it). 
Currently, there isn't a scripting utility out there that can look at a text file and co-relate information in it, to insert into a defined block with many attributes. There are just too many issues to make it straight forward.
As a matter of fact, complete packages are written to do just that function, with many features that are beyond the scope of scripting.
Please do a google search for "autocad and excel and attribute", and you will find a number of them, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
I hope this helps!
Bill |
