Brad, In any given project that we work on, the drawing content can reach 600 plus. My idea, originally was to write a lisp routine that prompted for drawing information, then wrote this data to a sequential file in a comma delimited manner. This I found to be awkward, since it would be more effective to extract the info after all the drawings were complete and ready to be shipped "As Built". In this stage, the ability to have a program that would look at ALL the drawings ".DWG" and extract the info from each attracted me. Writing out individual DXF files would be too time consuming for our purpose, so this idea surfaced. If there is a way to do this that is more effective than the areas that I am looking at, then I would be interested. As a last resort, I will probably write a lisp routine that extracts the information from a titleblock "Block" and again using a sequential file, writes out the relevant data. Regards, Jim McMillan.
