Powerful spreadsheet app to batch edit attributes of blocks across multiple drawings.

Instruções de uso geral

  • Run JTB_BatchAttEdit command from the command line or from the ribbon button on Add-ins (or Plug-ins) tab.

  • JTB BatchAttEdit window will show up. On the left panel, there are drawing lists and a log text box. On the right panel, there are block name wildcards, and a wide spreadsheet to display and edit attributes.

  • Enter Block Name Wildcards. You can specify more than 1 wildcard by separating them with ";". E.g. *title block*; *A3*. Click the drop-down arrow button to access recent wildcards that you have entered.

  • Click the "Add" button to add drawings to a drawing list. This also triggers the app to scan all drawings. Firstly, it finds blocks that match the block name wildcard. Then, in each found block, attributes will be collected and shown on the spreadsheet.

  • Hint: after scanning the drawings, the log text box will list all block names in all drawings. If you don't find your block in the spreadsheet, check this list and edit your block name wildcard, hit Enter key to scan drawings again.

  • Check or uncheck the Attribute Sync option. If Attribute Sync is checked, attributes of each found block will be synced with the block definition. Attributes that are not in definition will be deleted. Missing attributes will be created, using a default attribute value.

  • Right-click on a drawing list and/or spreadsheet to access the popup menu of commands.

  • When working on the spreadsheet, you can select multiple cells, and use keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+D to copy a cell down; Ctrl+R to copy a cell right; Ctrl+L to copy a cell left; Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste the text. Undo and Redo features are also available via Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y keyboard shortcuts.

  • Finally, click "Apply Attribute Changes".
