what happened to ATTOUT?

[spooner1975]

When I try to extract the attribute information from a group of blocks, in order to export to a spreadsheet, I select the blocks, type ATTOUT, and get the message "unknown  command" How can export/import attribute data in ACAD Mac?

Hi,

This command is from Express Tools, which are not available in AutoCAD for Mac.

Currently you can use only command line version -ATTEXT (with hyppen) to extract attributes.

Is there a good set of instructions for doing this procedure?  The ones on this site are very unclear....

I have been evaluating autocad for MAC 2014 only today!, it is the third instance I find the same answer. Let me clarify, I was looking for different subject matters though. Maybe you can recommend "go to google maps instead of mac maps"; just as Tim Hook did some months ago. It would be hilarious you end up buying Parallels and selling bundled packages by the name of:  "Autocad for MAC".

Oh well, I can go on and on, I have not reached the LISP programming language yet, friends have told me good luck, but I don't need it, you do.
