ATTEXT alternative
« on: March 11, 2013, 07:07:16 AM »
Does anybody know about a piece of code or a (free) application in .NET which does the same as ATTEXT, but better?
I have drawings from where I need to extract block-data like insertpoint, scale and rotation. In these drawings can be blocks, blocks-in-blocks, blocks-in-xrefs and even blocks-in-blocks-in-xrefs. All blocks must be 'read' from one drawing which contains all 'pieces'.

ATTEXT sometimes creates weird results, like infinite coordinates (3.46683e12 in stead of 2072.0) or a Z-value of 0, while the block is inserted at Z 500.0...
AutoCAD knows about this, but in all the years I use my lisp, nothing changed.

Any help or suggestions are welcome!

Are you familiar with the DATAEXTRACTION command?
