Create Drawing list Marco

[russell84]

Hi guys im trying to create a drawing list on the title sheet of my drawings.

 

I want to automate this buy way of vba.

 

I want to be able to be able to select a group of drawings and the macro will go into each drawing silently and get the attribute values for attributes DWG-NO. , TITLE1 & TITLE2 then put these values into a list.

 

 

eg 08262_DA_C100 SEDIMENT & EROSION CONTROL PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2

 

ETC

 

Would any one be able to help me with this?

Or have written something similar??

would that be achieved using the method of writing the info out of the drawings and into an excel spreadsheet, then writing that info back in wholesale into each drawing (if I've understood you correctly)

 

we have several threads for doing this

[russell84]

So you mean using the Attribute extraction method "eattext"??

 

I'd really like to see what you use for this.

 

Because that would help a lot.

Sorry - my info only comes from foruming, I don't have a need to do this to drawings in real life

 

I just know we have numerous threads already on extracting data or inserting data into drawings, so if you do the briefest of searches you should find one that does what you need (or two, as you're writing out and back in again)
