Extracting more than 256 columns

[bradley.murphree]

Does anyone know how in AutoCAD 2012 to be able to extract more than 256 columns worth of attributes per block? 

It keeps giving me an error saying that excel won't allow it... excel has had more columns than 256 since 2007!?!?! 

Or is there a third party extraction tool that I can use that extracts information in the same way the AutoCAD one does? 

Thanks

Hi,

>> It keeps giving me an error saying that excel won't allow it

Have you tried to export it to any other fileformat? What about trying MDB or just CSV?

At least I don't have a file that contains blocks with more than 256 attribtues, if you upload such a file it's easier for us to test it (I don't want do play now around to getting a block with 256 or more attributes and find then out that it's just you r block whereas my one can be extracted).

And a screenshot of that message might help too 😉
