    Default Link Block attribute with Excel spreadsheet

    Summary: I wish a easy form to modify a lot of attributes

    Description: I work in a enterprise that have a lot of products with a lot of technical features.
    We transform this features in attributes inside block that represent every product.
    But make a standard of that information is very hard.
    If AutoCAD have a link with excel this trouble can be very easy to resolve.

    A hot link feature for block attributes would allow updating variable attribute values from a spreadsheet rather than editing each block occurrence. Should be a two-way feature, extract attributes to a spread sheet and import values from that spreadsheet.

    Time to start looking at a more advanced product, I think. Past some of the basic AutoCAD features, data management requires some serious attention.

    I can see where this can be good. But, have you considered the Express Tools Import/Export Attributes? While it's not a live link, it makes making mass changes to a selection of blocks much easier.
