Make use of AutoCAD
together with an external database. Block
attribute values
can automatically be updated
back and forth to one or many
external databases.
If you make changes to the attribute values they can be synchronized back to the
external database or the other way around.
There are three
sync methods available and can
be set individually for each
attribute to synchronize.
- Sync in both directions.
- Sync only from the drawing to the database.
- Sync only from the database to the drawing.
Some information might be useful to sync in both directions while other
information like dimensions needs AutoCAD to be the owner. Other information
like price might best be owned by the database.
Information in the title block as well as revisions is something that can
be synchronized.
More flexibility and functionality than the standard commands ATTIN and
ATTOUT.
