    Default Export/Copy Display Representations out of AutoCad

    I'd love to be able to export the settings and date for display configurations/sets/representations from AutoCad into a spreadsheet or word processor. With the only access to these settings being a one-at-a-time view through AutoCad Architecture it is impossible to easily compare different display reps to more quickly and easily understand them and select the right one for the job. Without the ability to export the data (other than the traditional pencil and paper) it's impossible to document an office's standard settings and customizations.

    AutoCad had a program called "Tableprint" a few years ago that allowed pen table data to be exported to a spreadsheet. This type of tool would be perfect!

    While it may not do exactly what you want if you run PN with Project Standards and a dwg file set as the standard for display settings I believe you can have it generate a report of non-standard configs and such. Its a start and perhaps something the dev team at adsk can build on.
