I need to compile title block attributes from multiple drawings using ATTEXT in Hurricane. This works fine, except that I am forced to specify the txt filename. What I need is to automatically create the txt files as per each DWG name.
Any ideas on how this may be done please?

Just use Hurricane TAGS.
I think the one you need to insert into your script is the $FILENAME$ tag wherever it is asking for a filename.
You may have to put it in quotes, and also provide an extension i.e.
$FILENAME$.TXT (will adopt the filename of the currently open drawing without the dwg, then add the txt extension.
Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

thanks, I think that is exactly what is required for my problem.
the second problem I have is that I need to set the template and output location for the ATTEXT command. It seems that I am able to set the template file by running it once - meaning that it is somehow cached from the previous drawing, but I would like to set this in Hurricane. My LISP routine seems to be ignoring the output path though:
attext
C
T
S:\Projects\07\7676\gis\Hurricane Development\templat.txt
F
S:\Projects\07\7676\gis\Hurricane Development\output\"$FILENAME$.TXT"
_close
thanks for your feedback |

You might want to try it this way instead...
;BEGIN SCRIPT
attext
C
T
S:\Projects\07\7676\gis\Hurricane Development\templat.txt
F
S:\Projects\07\7676\gis\Hurricane Development\output\$FILENAME$.TXT
;END SCRIPT
If above doesn't work then try
;BEGIN SCRIPT
attext
C
T
S:\Projects\07\7676\gis\Hurricane Development\templat.txt
F
"S:\Projects\07\7676\gis\Hurricane Development\output\$FILENAME$.TXT"
;(Path in quotes above) END SCRIPT
The best way to diagnose, remember, is to hit F2, and look at the text window... it will show where it stalls...
(Just copy-paste it in a response if you get stuck)

Hi,
I think it is the version with the quotes that doesn't work.
the ATTEXT function works but the text output file is only to the directory in which the file is in. The drawings are not closing so I think that it has stalled in specifying the output path.. |

You are trying to save AEC objects to a previous version file format. This is
not permitted.
These objects can be viewed in a previous version if Proxy Graphics are enabled,
but AEC commands will be disabled.
Users of 2004, 2005 and 2006 versions should install an updated Object Enabler
(available from www.autodesk.com/enablers) before opening these drawings.
Previous versions will display error messages.

hi,
i think i have the problem. or at least part of it..
i think that i need to run -ATTEXT instead of ATTEXT in order to bypass the dialogue box.
in order to do this i think that i need to run filedia and set to 0
now I think am just back to my previous issue of specifying the output text file
