Attribute Extraction...

Does anybody know, using Tools/Attribute Extraction, how to extract block's
attributes so the X,Y,Z coordinates are in UCS, not in WCS? Everything is
like I need except the coordinates. It is rather impossible for me to
convert them from one CS to the second because I have to do this in many
files, and in each the UCS is moved from the WCS for a different vector.
Thanks.

 

Maby you shuld look at the AutoLisp "Trans" function. This function
will yield the UCS cooerdinates.

 

You could try some of the software on my site www.caddproductivity.com

You'd need to use the Survey Import/Export program to export the block
names and coordinates to a *.csv file. Next use the survey program again
to import the the *.csv, specifying 'coordinate marker blocks' for each
unique block type (this can be done globally). What you'd have at this
point is blocks (superimposed on your originals) which display the
coordinates as attributes.

Next you'd need use the Coordinate Marker software to update the
coordinate attributes to the UCS of your choice.

Finally, use the Survey or Data Manager software to export selected data.

All our programs are free to use for 30 days, which ought to be long
enough to follow the circuitous route outlined above. )
