Map 3D 2022 - exporting Object Data to a comma-deliminated file

[sthibodeau795619]

I am fairly new to Map 3D and I am trying to figure it out.

I imported a shape file into a drawing and attached the Object Data. During design, I have added more objects and attached Object Data to them.
When I look at the properties of the objects, the Object Data information shows up.

Is there a way to create a "table" of the Object Data taken from the drawing objects and create a seperate file that can be opened by Excel? A comma de-limited file for instance.

There is a free add-on that can export tables to CSV and you can create a table of the data using the same add-on. Just do a search for Object Data Table in the App Store and you should find a few different ones.

Thanks for responding. I don't see any apps that say they do what I am looking for.

I want to create a TABLE using the information from the Object Data properties attached to the various linework and blocks.
I have set up the mapannotation so I can annotate the objects with their info, but it would be very helpful to be able to create a table that contains all the Object Data for each type of object.

I believe it would be a two step process. Export the object data to Excel and then create a table from that Spreadsheet using a data reference.
Have you looked at ODEdit for Object Data?

Have you looked into Data Extraction in the Table Ribbon Panel? You may need to define the dxe (template) but it may do exactly what you are looking for.
