CADstudio DwgText
Win32 and 64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
According to the options preset in the Settings dialog, the DwgTextExport command exports selected entity properties to a Microsoft Excel sheet, an Excel file or a text file. A new row (line, record) will be created for each selected Autodesk® AutoCAD® entity. Any entity is identified in the exported file by its entity handle (ID number) and its drawing name - these will be used for future imports.
There are some differences between the export to Excel and to a text file. Each exported Excel row will contain AutoCAD entity identification in the first cell’s comment, while a text file has it as a row value (column). You can export entity handles and drawing names to Excel too, but the values are not important for the import functionality.
