ToolPac's Block & Attribute routines include tools to automate the placement and management of blocks and give you complete control over the normally unmanageable attributes found in inserted blocks.
Plot Stamp: Insert an information block into your drawing containing drive/path,
dwgname, date and time. Quickly updated before plotting, it provides accurate revision
information on each drawing.
Re-Define Blocks: One method searches support paths for drawings of selected blocks and
redefines the block from the drawing. A second method uses a dialog based tool to
specify and save relationships between a local block and a drawing in any drive/path. When
processed, redefines the block with the drawing file.
Export & Import Data: A simpler and more powerful alternative to AutoCADs
Attribute Extract, without the need for a template file. This gives you the ability
to export insertion and attribute data from blocks, modify this data in a spreadsheet or
database, and bring the changes back into a drawing.
Attribute Value Controls: Including Copy, Move, Explode, Recall, Find & Replace, Case,
Tag Replace, Prefix/Suffix, Update from Variables. Dialog based tools like
AutoCADs DDMODIFY, and DDEDIT for attributes.
Attribute Factoring: Add, Subtract, Multiply or Divide the value in attributes by any
number. Place new value back in the attribute, preserving prefixes/suffixes and controls
rounding.
Attribute Property Controls, include Color, Layer, Height, Rotation, Oblique, Style,
Width, Backwards, Upside Down, Underline/Overline, Visibility.
