Guys,
I know this can be done but haven't a clue on how to do so. I have tried looking for routines a like to try manipulate, maybe I am just not searching for the right things?
Does anyone have a routine that may do this or similar?
Does any one have a routine they would donate so to manipulate to do the task?

Any assistance is much appreciated, thanks.

I don't know if this will help you or not. I use it to import/export my title block info to the custom section under DWGPROPS. Then link the custom props to my block using fields. It will import/export Tab-Delimited Text files which you can use excel to generate.

**I didn't write this I just ran across it in my search for an Block Auto Numbering Lisp**

That code looks very familiar, here (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=52911&highlight=dwgprops) is the original post as well as the txt file to be modified using excel, and some brief instructions for use. I would post the most recent update, but it has too much customization tied in for our office to be able to make it useable elsewhere. If you want to see the original discussion and the code in its oldest, non-company oriented version, you can also check out this (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=29605&highlight=dwgprops) thread. It may help you understand where the code came from and how some of the features work.
