Get data from loaded CTB in AutoCAD?
« on: December 16, 2016, 04:24:23 PM »
If I have an opened drawing with an attached / current / loaded CTB-file, is it possible to access the content of the CTB? For example "show me the line width of colour red in that CTB"?

(There are some postings here, 10 years old, which talk about the external solution - "remove the header and use zlib to unpack". I wonder if there are some new possibilities now...)

I go to this website and print the contents to a PDF.
