Exporting text to spreadsheet

[richard3009]

Im running Autocad 10 electrical, when I receive a batch of drawing they come bundled with the index as an autocad dwg.

 

I wish to export the text from the index straight into a spreadsheet (or a text file) where I can cut and paste the columns of text from into the spread sheet

 

With drawing numbers in one column drawing titles and so on.

 

Anyone know of a lisp that will export text and keep its layout the same.

 

Cheers

You can create object of Acad application in background

and loop entire the folder you need - in this case you

would be able to use selection for your title block etc.

Easier to write all data in .csv file then you could be

cut and paste the columns as in .xls

I saw something similar that was written by CAB (Charles Alan Butler)

Try to find it on this forum
