CADstudio DwgText for AutoCAD plugin allows you to export/import texts and selected entity properties to/from your drawing. Exported data can be modified in Excel (or in the text file) and then you can bring them back into the AutoCAD DWG drawing. You can use DwgText for creating BOMs, text schedules, or for batch editing of drawing texts and their visual properties.
The list of supported drawing objects – entities and properties:
- Text
- Multiline text
- Block reference (attributes, incl.dynamic)
- Multileader
- Table
- Attribute definition (attdef)
- Document properties (including custom properties)
You can export/import the data to/from the Microsoft Excel application (if installed), an Excel file or a text file (CSV, TSV, any delimiter).
The exported text objects can contain editable(!) properties like: text value (of course), entity type and name, layer, color, width, height, X/Y/Z coordinates (position), scale, rotation angle, dyn.block properties, attribute name, table cells, layout. These properties can be edited in Excel or in the text file (manually or in an automated way) and then updated in the original DWG drawing using the Import function. You can e.g. modify drawing text (strings), their positions or colors with an Excel macro, from a database system, possibly even from a sensor output, etc.
DwgText adds the following commands:
-
- DwgTextExport
- The DwgTextExport command exports selected entity properties to a Microsoft Excel sheet, an Excel file or a text file.
-
- DwgTextImport
- The DwgTextImport command reads data from the current instance of an Excel sheet, from an Excel file or a text file and modifies the current drawing’s entity properties according to the source data.
