AutoCAD 2010 Handle "ID" number of an object

Hi all,

I am using AutoCAD 2010 and need to know if there is a way to export (to excel or any other way) all the Handle "Id" numbers (see attachment) of all objects in a drawing.

Or, Can I create a schedule in CAD with all the objects and their properties in a drawing and the export it to excel or other type of document?

Thanks to all.

Well known author, columnist, instructor and programmer Bill Kramer outlined a Visual lisp routine that assembles an entity data list in his book The AutoCadet's Guide to Visual Lisp. It is depicted on page 177.

Google "lisp"+"autocad"+"handle" (exactly as you see it here).

Just a quick one

(defun c:getHand (/ ss file)
 (vl-load-com)
 (if (and (setq ss (ssget))
          (setq file (getfiled "Output File" "" "txt;csv" 9)))
   (progn
     (setq file (open file "a"))
     (mapcar
       (function
         (lambda (x)
           (write-line
             (cdr (assoc 5 x)) file)))
       (mapcar 'entget
         (vl-remove-if 'listp
           (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex ss)))))
     (close file))
   (princ "*Cancel*"))
 (princ))

This is what I was referring to.

(DEFUN READ_DRAWING ( / EN)

(SETQ EN (ENTNEXT)) ;get first drawing database entry

(WHILE EN ;loop while EN has binding

; process entity name EN

(SETQ EN (ENTNEXT EN)) ;get the next database entry

) ;end WHILE loop

)

That will just loop through the entities in the database
