An AutoLISP routine (and supporting functions) to extract attribute values from a block insert entity and insert the values into (or update the values in) a database. "Data-driven" so the block name, attribute tags, and database table and column names are easily changed. Includes menu files and bitmaps for creating a toolbar.
Supports (and demonstrates how to handle) table and column names that contain characters outside the basic SQL character set (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and underscore) such as spaces, dashes, etc. Uses the ActiveX Data Objects API to connect to the database.
Version 1.41 fixes a bug that caused the program to crash when no appropriately named block with attributes was found in the drawing.
Requires AutoCAD 2000 or higher and my ADOLISP DataBase Library version 2.1 or later.
For a version for R14 and previous, see R14- Extract Attributes to Database.
Freeware. No charge.
