If so, you will need to create a Schedule Table Style that applies to Polyines, then add a column for each property you want to show in the Schedule Table. So far as I know, property data is not available through the process used to extract AutoCAD Block attribute values.David Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433242906997486419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-6620380352680736062009-12-15T02:45:07.456-05:002009-12-15T02:45:07.456-05:00Great tag!

I was trying to extract the information and just take the attributes, but it says that there are not any. Do you have any suggestions? <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />BradBrad Ratnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543172901325752260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-85107689898526266332009-02-19T03:28:00.000-05:002009-02-19T03:28:00.000-05:00Thanks, now the tag is perfect.Greetings MaykeThanks, now the tag is perfect.<BR/><BR/>Greetings MaykeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-73291670109645980032009-02-12T09:05:00.000-05:002009-02-12T09:05:00.000-05:00The Drawing Setup settings affect the way AutoCAD ...The Drawing Setup settings affect the way AutoCAD Architecture will report area values to you.

The file was created in 2005 with an imperial template, using imperial content. The drawing's area units are set up as square feet (units tab of the Drawing Setup dialog). The Area Property Data Format that is assigned to the PolylineObjects:Area property has a suffix of " SF", which gets appended to the automatic property value. If you set up your drawing's area units as square meters, and either use the metric Area Property Data Format, or edit the one in the file I posted, to have a suffix of " m2" (or however you want to designate square meters), that should give you areas in square meters in the tag.David Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433242906997486419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-69204245961141458652009-02-06T07:31:00.000-05:002009-02-06T07:31:00.000-05:00By the way, we are using Autocad architecture 2008...By the way, we are using Autocad architecture 2008.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-40144024816992640462009-02-06T07:04:00.000-05:002009-02-06T07:04:00.000-05:00Dear David Koch,I got this tag form te zip-file yo...Dear David Koch,<BR/><BR/>I got this tag form te zip-file you put on the discussion group forum of autodesk. It is an ideal tag, I changed it to our drawing standard, except for one thing:<BR/>here in Holland we use square meters instead of speare feet? I understand that the multi-view block is made out a block with 3 attributes in it, But that is it, I'm affraid. Can you explain how I can change that?<BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance.<BR/>Greetings MaykeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-1159580932427220512006-09-29T21:48:00.000-04:002006-09-29T21:48:00.000-04:00The Schedule Tag is an ADT Multi-View Block.

I am not terribly adept at VBA; you might be able to apply the same approach, changing the object to a Multi-View Block, then again, that may not work, as I do not know if the value of nested attributes that are linked to Property Data is exposed in VBA.<BR/><BR/>You might have better luck trying to retrieve the data shown in the tag by reading the property data attached to the Polyline object.David Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433242906997486419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-1159547806057793212006-09-29T12:36:00.000-04:002006-09-29T12:36:00.000-04:00How do you querry a field in this aec block?
