I am trying to extract several different attributes from a drawing. I'm creating the attributes as a block of their own and inserting them into a drawing file (A) that will be inserted into a final drawing file (B) as a block. I need to be able to rotate and move the blocks from drawing file (A), while maintaining the attribute information.
My problem is that once I nest the attributes in drawing file (A) I can't extract the information from drawing file (B). It show up as a block when I try to extract the information from drawing file (B),(even after exploding the insert block) but as a move through the wizard the information isn't there and nothing is brought into my notepad doc.
My goal is to export attributes from a drawing file (B) into a cvs file and then import that information into a MAS-90 software. I have exported attributes that were written in drawing file (B) in the cvs format file. The reason for the nesting is to allow me to move, rotate, or copy the objects after exploding drawing file (A) in drawing file (B) without moving rotating, or coping the attributes needed for the extraction. I can use the tool palettes as a palette to drop all the needed blocks from drawing file (A) into drawing file (B). Then I'll explode the blocks with the nested attributes within so I can manipulate the contents without changing the attribute information attached to the block.
Any information would be helpful or any add on software.
