Summary

The GT_ATT2PROP command enables seamless transfer of block attributes to standard CAD properties, allowing users to extract, map, and utilize attribute values as fundamental CAD object properties in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

GeoTool -> Blocks Tools -> Blocks Tools -> Transfer Attributes to CAD properties

Key Features Include:

Attribute to Property Mapping:

• Source Block Selection: Choose a block from the drawing that contains the required attribute.
• Attribute Specification: Select a specific attribute from the chosen block to be transferred.
• Property Mapping: Assign the extracted attribute value to a CAD property such as:
  • Insertion Point (DXF Code 10)
  • Rotation (DXF Code 50)
  • Layer Name
  • Linetype, Color, or Elevation

Enhanced CAD Property Control:

• Converts block attributes into editable CAD properties, making data more accessible and usable.
• Supports DXF property assignments, enabling better integration with external CAD workflows and automation scripts.
• Works efficiently across multiple blocks, ensuring consistency in large-scale drawings.

Benefits:

• Automates attribute-to-property conversion, reducing manual effort.
• Improves data consistency by ensuring block attributes are reflected in CAD object properties.
• Enhances interoperability, making attributes usable for external applications, scripts, and databases.
• Speeds up property management by allowing batch transfers of attribute data.

The GT_ATT2PROP command is ideal for CAD professionals managing structured block data, offering a powerful way to convert block attributes into functional CAD properties for improved workflow automation and drawing intelligence.
