This is Data Extraction (DATAEXTRACTION) and not Attribute Extraction (ATTEXT). You'll have to change the title on your video because i wasted a few minutes only to realize it's not what i'm looking for.
Design & Motion.net Hmm. Interesting. It may be because I'm using Autocad 2012, but in my case it brings up "Edit Block Definition" window if I double click a block.
Hello guys, I wonder if you can help me. There is a BLOCK that i'd like to extract its attributes - Tag and COLOR - into an external format (EXCEL). there after, i'd like to import it into the drawing and based on its COLOR attribute value, change the value to that color in the drawing. any hints/suggestions would be appriciated
Just so I follow... you want to extract attributes from a block (Tag and Color) to Excel and then import it back into AutoCAD. From there you want to change the color value in the imported data and have it update the blocks? If so, then this isn't possible without some programming. The data stream is one way... block to data extraction to excel to import in as AutoCAD Table. It could be configured so that as you change the block everything updates including the table inserting into AutoCAD.
This is DataExtraction. There is one called AttExt for attribute Extraction.

How did you create he block?
Useful steps and helps go further
My left ear thanks you.
Thank you, it is extremely helpful
Very usefull 👍👍
Thanks. How did you bring up the Enhanced Attribute Editor so quickly in the beginning on this video?
I double-clicked on the block... by double-clicking on a block with attributes the default behaviour is to start the Enhanced Attribute Editor
