This could happen, for example, if you have a BL:NAME field with a width of
8 characters and a block in your drawing has a name 10 characters long.
To create an attribute extraction template file
1 Start Notepad.
You can use any text editor or word processor that can save a text file in
ASCII format.
2 Enter template information in Notepad. See
Extract Block Attribute Data
(Advanced)
on page 686 for format information.
3 Save the file with a .txt file extension.
To extract data about a specific tag, insert the tag name in place of the
"numeric" or "character" fields.
WARNING Do not use tab characters when constructing the template file with a
word processor. If you use tab character alignment, the attribute information file
is not created. To align the columns, insert ordinary spaces by pressing SPACEBAR.
The use of tab characters may cause inconsistent alignment.
To extract attribute information
1 At the Command prompt, enter attext.
2 In the Attribute Extraction dialog box, specify the appropriate file format:
CDF, SDF, or DXF.
3 Specify the objects to extract attributes from by choosing Select Objects.
You can select a single block or multiple blocks in the drawing.
4 Specify the attribute template file to use by entering the file name or by
choosing Template File and browsing.
5 Specify the output attribute information file by entering the file name
or by choosing Output File and browsing.
6 Click OK.
