if you don't specify the Path for the output file, the drawing folder will be used for Export.the Excel application and Excel file options will not be available if MS Excel (any, 97-2013) is not installed on your system.Some visual properties cannot be changed through Import - you cannot change Layout of an entity, the block name, drawing name, entity handle, entity type and constant attributes in blocks. The data, don´t delete exported cells' comments or the text file values Handle and DwgName.Īdditionaly, for future imports from a text file, you need to export the "headers" withĪll Import options can be set in the settings dialog. Identification is based on the drawing name and entity handle values. The DwgTextImport command reads data from the current instance of an Excel sheet, from an Excel file or a textįile and modifies the current drawing's entity properties according to the source data. Since version 1.6 you can select layers - only contents of these layers will be exported: Import To avoid duplicity, DwgText uses the following prefixes for headers (column names) in the exported data: ATTR_ for block attributes (can be suppressed in Setttings), DYN_ for dynamic block properties, CELL_ for table cells
You can export entity handlesĪnd drawing names to Excel too, but the values are not important for the import functionality. Each exported Excel row will contain AutoCAD entity identification in theįirst cell’s comment, while a text file has it as a row value (column). There are some differencies between the export toĮxcel and to a text file. Name - these will be used for future imports. Any entity is identified in the exported file by its entity handle and its drawing A new row (line, record) will be createdįor each selected AutoCAD entity. Selected entity properties to a Microsoft Excel sheet, an Excel file or a text file.
DwgText commandsĪccording to the options preset in the Settings dialog, the DwgTextExport command exports modify drawing text (strings), their positions or colors with an Excel macro, from a database system, possibly even from a sensor output, etc. These properties can be edited in Excel or in the text file (manually or in an automated way) and then updated in the original DWG drawing using the Import function. The exported text objects can contain editable(!) properties like: text value (of course), entity type and name, layer, color, width, height, X/Y/Z coordinates (position), scale, rotation angle, dyn.block properties, attribute name, table cells, layout. You can export/import the data to/from the Microsoft Excel application (if installed), an Excel file or a text file (CSV, TSV, any delimiter).
