adding data to polyline and extracting this data to table?

[feargt]

Hi,

Firstly I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year but it seems clear for some it has not been the best start possible, fingers crossed things improve for ye guys.

There may already be a thread with the info that I'm looking for but I have not been able to locate it.

Am looking for a lisp file or VB routine or help in creating such a file,...

where I can select a polyline (representing a pipe for example)& it will ask me
Nr 1
from where it comes?

& I can manually enter the data or select a block from where it comes and it will use the block name as the data.

Nr 2
to where it is going? again I can manually enter the data or select a block from where it comes and it will use the block name as the data.

Nr 3
It will store this info along with the width of the polyline and the layer of the polyline so that I can extract this info into a table

In my search for this I have found several ways of adding data to the polyine but not in a way that I can extract it through use of Data extraction method. It does not have to work using data extraction method but should be exportable into a table format

Any help here would be much appreciated.

This should work with plain Autocad 2008 upwards.

hope I've explained it clear enough

Thanks

You probably cannot directly attach the data to the polyline and have it extracted via the Data Extraction Wizard. However, you can certainly use tag blocks with the needed attributes to label the polylines and then use the wizard. Without any VBA.

Thanks for the reply, I was able to find what I was looking for elsewhere.
