In this video I will tell you about the data extraction tool and using data extraction tool you can
extract a lot of information from your drawing for example in this case we will extract that data related
to the attribute that blocks.
And you can export that data into an external file.
For example a file which is compatible with is Exel.
Or you can also inserted in the column drawing as a table.
So in this drawing we have these three simple blocks which has attributes.
Now let's say that we want to extract all the information related to these windows or these attributes
and blogs for that you can type data extraction and now Precentor.
So that will open this and data extraction wizard now.
And this was our make sure that the first radio button create a needed extraction is selected and now
start with clicking on this next button.
Now it will prompt you to specify the location where you want to see it.
So I'll go to stop and I'll see it with the data name and it would be received with dog DXi extension.
Now click on Save.
And here we have the location where it will be saved.
And this is also the location where local enjoying is.
Now we need to select the properties which needs to be extracted.
And for that we need to select the second radio button which is select objects in current drawing because
we want to extract a limited number of information from the current drawing.
No art to selecting this.
Click on the Settings button and this will open this data extraction window in this window.
Make sure that this extract objects from block is checked and also you can keep this object in more
than space checked.
And that will ensure that all the objects which are only in more than space are included.
Now.
Ok and now we'll click on this box and select the complete geometry now.
Click on next.
And we have complete information in the form of this table.
So obviously we don't need all of these information.
We only need information which is relevant and that's the blocks containing attribute.
So for that I'll click on this checkbox and this will ensure that all the blocks that contain attribute
will be listed here and the properties.
So here you can see that we have some objects here like these two blocks.
And also we have these objects which are not blocks.
So you can uncheck these objects and they will not appear you never find that result.
Now we only have information related to these blocks.
Now click on next.
And here we have the final table with lots of objects.
So once again here I'll uncheck.
In this category for all the values which we don't want so we don't want 3D visualization drawing general
geometry or miscellaneous.
We only want attribute related information.
Now click on next.
And here we have our final table.
Now in this final table we have the count for each of the blocks their dimensions included here as attribute
values.
Also you make charges combined identical rows is checked and also you can check these boxes to include
or remove these columns.
For example you can remove the count column if you want or you can remove the name column but I'll keep
all of them checked.
Now click on next.
And in this page you need to select the place where you want to put that information.
So we have two options.
Either you can insert that information as a table or you can extract it as an external file.
So Elssler bought and to extract that information has a location so I'll once again click on this box
or next up and here I'll select the data and it'll be saved as access extension which can be opened
with Microsoft Excel.
Now click conceive and once again click on next.
Here we have the table which will be used in this current drawing.
Now with the default settings click on next and then finish.
Now the table will be visible on the cursor so I'll click some video here and the table has been inserted
all although the size of table is very small so I can increase it simply by using the scale tool so
I select the scale select the complete table press Enter click a the point here let's enter a skill
factor of 20 and it still needs to be entries selected again.
Select the scale factor to the base point.
Now let's into three and now we have it of appropriate size.
Now you can see that we have the window 5 inches block with these damn.
You're also with these damnations their count and all the values we normally have these here.
We also have it on the decks top So let's minimize the drawing.
And here we have this 80 Daiya Excel file.
And here's all the information.
So let's now close it and let's open our drawing.
So in this way you can extract the attribute related information from your Autocad drawings easily using
the data extraction wizard.
