Extracting Drawing Porperties from ACAD 2007

[irchrismm]

Is there a way to pull the information from the summary section (drawing properties) of a group of drawings into an external format...say excel or word?

They could be inserted into autocad using fields and then extracted to word or excel.

By way of clarification: Create a block with attributes for each value, set each attribute's default value to a field listing the particular property. Insert this block into each of the drawings (only once per drawing), then use Data Extraction to export the values from the multiple drawings to an Excel file. If you're using something older than 2008, then it's called something different from Data Extraction (can't remember now). If your AC is so old it doesn't have fields or a form of data extraction, then you'll have to try the Lisp / VBA forums.

I'm not sure if this will help, but you can give it a try
