Having an Acad Electrical function in a regular Acad 2011?

[Sittingbull]

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

If is about blocks with attributes, please check the DATAEXTRACTION built-in command.

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.
