DATAEXTRACTION
Extracts drawing data and merges data from an external source to a data
extraction table or external file.
Select Objects for Data Extraction
You can select objects, including blocks and their attributes and drawing
property information, from which to extract data.
After you have selected the drawings from which to extract data, the next step
is to specify which objects and their properties to extract. This is the data that
is output to a table or to an external file. By default, objects are extracted from
both model space and paper space, including objects in blocks and xrefs. Using
the Data Extraction - Additional Settings dialog box, you can change the
default settings.
The Select Objects page in the wizard displays a list of objects. From this page,
you can use filters to sort by object type (block or non-block). You can narrow
the list of objects even more. For example, you can display only those blocks
that have attributes.
Objects and their properties are always extracted using the world coordinate
system (WCS), regardless if a user coordinate system (UCS) is current when
the data extraction is performed.
Select Object Properties to Be Extracted
After you have selected the objects, the next step is to specify which properties
to extract.
