Key features include:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Add structured information (like material properties, cost details, or geographical attributes) to drawing entities with minimal effort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Object data is stored directly within the drawing using CAD-native XDATA<\/strong>. This ensures data integrity without relying on external databases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Attach various data types (e.g., String<\/strong>, Real<\/strong>, Integer<\/strong>, or Link<\/strong>) to entities. Define fields using the CP_DATAMAN<\/strong> command and populate them easily using CP_ATTACHDATA<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add or remove fields, set default values, and update existing records without altering the geometry of the associated objects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Attach references to external files (e.g., PDFs<\/strong>, images<\/strong>, or spreadsheets<\/strong>) to CAD objects. The associated files can be opened directly via the Show<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
User-friendly dialogs allow for easy data input and modification without needing to edit code or databases manually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Seamlessly integrates with BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander<\/strong>, maintaining consistent performance across different design environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Attached object data can be used later for thematic analysis, labeling, or extraction into reports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
