Additional Settings
Displays the “Attribute Extraction - Additional Settings Dialog Box” on page
432, where you can specify whether to include nested blocks and block in
xrefs and specify which blocks to count.
Select Attributes
Specifies the blocks and the attributes and properties to be extracted.
Exclude Blocks Without Attributes
Filters the Blocks list. When this option is selected, the Blocks list includes
only block instances that have attributes assigned to them. Dynamic blocks
are listed if they have special properties assigned to them (for example,
actions and parameters). Clear by default.
Exclude General Block Properties
Filters the Properties for Checked Blocks list. When this option is selected,
general block properties (except the Name property) are not included in
the list. The list displays only block attributes and the properties of dynamic
blocks. This option is selected by default.
Blocks
Displays a list of blocks in the selected drawings or sheets. If a selected
drawing or sheet contains a block definition with no instances, that block
is not listed. Double-click the column head to reverse the sort order.
Select the check box next to a block name to display that block’s attributes
and properties in the Properties for Checked Blocks list.
The Display Name column provides a place to enter an optional alternative
name for the block to appear in the extracted information. Select a block,
right-click in the list, and click Edit Display Name.
Properties for Checked Blocks
Displays a list of block properties and attributes for the blocks checked in
the Blocks list. Select the check box next to an attribute or property name
to extract the information for that property. The Name property is checked
by default.
If a property or attribute is unique to a checked block and you uncheck the
block, the property or attribute is removed from the list. If you check the
block again, the property or attribute name is restored to the list; select the
check box for the property if you want it to be extracted.
