Hi,
Following a reply to one of my posts here:
viewtopic.php?p=8415&sid=2066aefda42d7c ... afce#p8415

I looked for 'Data Extraction' unfortunately this is not in Intellicad :(

However there is BCOUNT, This does create a list of all of the blocks in a drawing including xrefs :)
Unfortunately this is only available on the command line
eg:
  • B-06011-001|WNRF_#2500_SCH_40... 16
    B-06011-001|RFBV-FB_#2500_2-3... 1
    B-06011-001|RFBV-FB_#2500_2-3... 1
    B-06011-001|RFBV-FB_#2500_2-3D... 8
    B-06011-001|BLRF_#2500_2-3D... 16
    B-06011-001|Elbow_90_SCH_40_2-3D... 8
    B-06011-001|End Cap_SCH_40_2-3D... 8
.
First issue is the block name is not completely displayed
eg:
WNRF_#2500_SCH_40_12-3D.

Second, and more important,
Can this list be saved to a txt/csv etc file?

Hi Steven,

I see if the length of the block name is larger than 32 characters, the block name will be truncated.

Hi QuanNguyen,
Thanks for the reply,
The block names are short enough, it's the addition of the XREF drg name that pushes it over the edge.
looks like I will have to look for an alternative or create my own!! :(
