[Video2Brain] AutoCAD 2013 Data Management Workshop [2012, ENG]-0daytown

[Video2Brain] AutoCAD 2013 Data Management Workshop [2012, ENG] | 255M

In this workshop, AutoCAD expert and author Scott Onstott teaches you how to build intelligence into drawing objects so that the symbols used in your drawings carry meaning beyond simple geometric representations. You will learn how to embed manufacturer, model, and pricing data into commonly used blocks; create invisible attributes that embed data in geometry without it appearing in the drawing area; and use field codes to display information from AutoCAD’s database inside text objects. You’ll also learn how to format, edit, and extract attribute data for use in external spreadsheets and/or for display within tables in AutoCAD drawings.
