Autocad extract text

Select the object s , type COPY, then hit twice. The table will be exported in. CSV file format. Next, right click on the exported.

Upload DWG. Choose to CSV. Choose CSV or any other format you need as a result more than formats supported. Open a new word Doc and paste it in. You can reverse this process and take it back to AutoCAD. On the Save Data Extraction As dialog box, enter a file name for the data extraction file and click Save.

Can you define textbox for us stagiaireF9RWW. By textbox I mean the equivalent of going under the home ribbon, under annotation and clicking on Multiline Text, then selecting both corners of the textbox and entering "Test" as a value.

Using an AutoLISP routine, I want to be able to extract values in my table lets say 3 and Wed and put the extracted data in a textbox, as shown to the right of my image. Side note: Strangest thing, the entsel function evaluates to nil when selecting an Arial font but behaves normally with RomanS.

If selecting the text evaluates to nil. Unfortunately, i am not able to select anything in my table. When I click on the text or the outline of the table, the program just stops. As I've said in my previous post, because of the odd behavior, Your table font style probably fall into the category I called "strange".

I attached a short video of what I meant by the above statement, for some reason, the screencast video is stuck in "pending" status. Notice if I select the vertical border slightly to the right, the value would be the one on the right side of the cell, if slightly left then the value at the left.

I found a code from LM and another form FIXO, if the previous code and the workaround won't cut-it for you, I will post another code based on window selection.

I see now what the routine does and it's pretty nice! Unfortunately, it is not exactly what I am looking for. Maybe I wasn't precise enough.

I'll try again. I am looking for a code, without any interaction with the user, that takes each cells of a selected table and gives its value to a variable. Next, for all the data in the table in our case, for the nine inputs, which are a,b,c,1,2,3,Mon,Tue,Wed I want nine variables which have the different inputs as value.

The only thing: I can't select the table as you did in the video. When my cursor goes over the table, it doesn't change, just as if I moved it on any empty space in my drawing. Maybe it's a setting that needs to be changed? If that is an AutoCAD table entity you should be able to select it. Maybe post your drawing or a screencast. I'm away from any computer now i , would suggest using an association list instead of multiple variables, i'll post a code as soon as i can get my hands on cad.

And pbejse , would there be any difference in the way I could use those variables with your technique? As the name suggests this option allows you to show only the objects used in the drawings. Selecting this option will let you remove objects like blocks or layers which are present in the drawing but are not used anywhere.

The objects panel of page 3 of data extraction also contains a lot of object types which we might not need. After unchecking those blocks from the Objects panel of page 3 of the data extraction wizard click next. Now you will see a list of properties of the selected objects. To avoid overwhelming amounts of data in our data extraction table I will uncheck some categories from the category filter and the properties from those categories will hide from the properties panel.

In our example I will only keep Drawing, Misc and Text categories selected as shown in the image below and then click on the Next button. Now you will have page 5 of the data extraction wizard which will show you the final table. We can modify this table the way we want and here too we will make some customizations. In page 5 you will see properties like Block Unit, Rotation, Unit Factor listed in different columns.

Similarly, you can grab the name of the column and move them to different locations. Under the table, you will see some checkboxes. This helps reduce the number of rows of the table. When you are done making changes to this table click Next button and you will reach page 6 of data extraction wizard.

On page 6 of the Data extraction wizard, you will only see two checkboxes. When you select the second option AutoCAD will let you specify the location where your data extraction file will be saved. You can click the box right underneath the second checkbox and specify a location and name of file and save it on the specified location. For this example, select both the checkboxes as we will be adding the data in our drawing as well as exporting it into an external file, after selecting the checkboxes click Next button.

Now page 7 of the data extraction wizard will open up where you can change the settings of the table and give your data extraction table a name. The table will now show up on your cursor and you can click anywhere in the drawing area to place this table. Before the text : extract substrings before the entered character s.
