Sittingbull Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hello people, I'ld like to make a cable list of components that are connected. Autocad electrical does it fine. when drawing a line from an electrical component to another, it kinda makes a link with the attribute of the block, witch you can extract the data from and obtain a cable list. Is it possible to make blocks interact the same way with a regular Autocad? Maybe trough some lisp routine or something? Any input would be helpfull regards, SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If is about blocks with attributes, please check the DATAEXTRACTION built-in command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sittingbull Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) erm... I might be mistaken, but i think you didn't get the question right... I know all about dataextraction, that's not the problem. What i'm trying is to make an object recognise another... adentum: Like you would have a block with an attribute and an anchor point, and when drawing a line to that anchor point, when extracting data, the result would be something like: FROM "some name" TO "some name"... Some name would be the anchor point's attribute name, like the connectic of a switch f.e. (S1, connectic n° 13)... Acad Electrical uses special codes as TAG name to do this. I'm looking for some lisp that would be the structure providing this function. SB Edited April 3, 2013 by Sittingbull complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
