Block & Attribute Tools 4.0

Product Description

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 AutoCAD’s 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 AutoCAD’s 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.
