      <description>&lt;P&gt;Considering that AutoCAD 2017 has such a large and varied customer base that ranges in discipline and use, please share your favorite command or workflow that might benefit other Community Members.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;OK - I will get the ball rolling here....I like to have a Macro called Cleanup. This is easy to create with the Action Recorder. &amp;nbsp;I have my cleanup routine set to -Purge&amp;gt;Regapps, Audit, and -Purge All.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Maybe RECOVER, I don't have 2017 but many times I can't do it and others using 2017 made it work.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;For me the answer is Properties. &amp;nbsp;I think those of us that used AutoCAD before that was added really appreciate that addition.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Combined with Excel, the Import and Export Attributes commands (ATTIN &amp;amp; ATTOUT) is probably my favorite workflow. Since the commands simply write/read a tab delimited text file, it's very easy to bring that data into Excel.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Before Sheet Set Manager was introduced in AutoCAD 2005, I used&amp;nbsp;ATTIN/ATTOUT (and Excel) to basically function as SSM. I would export the title block attributes to a single tab delimited text file that I would then import into Excel. Once in Excel I could manage sheet names, numbers, revision dates, etc in a table form. From there I would save the Excel worksheet back to a Tab Delimited TXT file. To update my title blocks, I used a batch script to run the ATTIN command on all of my sheets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;With Sheet Set Manager, I don't use the ATTIN/ATTOUT workflow to manage my sheets any longer, but I absolutely still use it to make batch updates to block attributes. For example, I recently had a drawing where I needed to change the room numbers (contained in a block attribute) from 1, 2, 3, to 101, 102, 103, etc. In lieu of changing each one manually, I did the following:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Select a single room tag block.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Right-click, choose Select Similar.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Run the ATTOUT command, and save TXT file.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Import TXT file into a new Excel spreadsheet.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Use a simply formula to add 100 to the room number attribute cell.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Hide the original column (with room numbers 1, 2, 3, etc.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Save the Excel worksheet to a Tab Delimited TXT file.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Back in AutoCAD, run the ATTIN command to import the updated room tags.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;It seems like a lot of steps, but assuming you're familiar with Excel, the process is relatively straight forward. The big gotcha' in the process is the ATTIN/ATTOUT commands use the unique object handle for each block. That means the location of the block doesn't matter, but the insertion itself does. In other words, erasing a room tag block will between the export and import steps will make the process fail.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Favorite command for me is the often forgotten and underutilized, "&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;MOCORO&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;" express tool. Move, copy, rotate and scale all in one command is amazing. It's a huge time saver and cuts down on the number of clicks when working on typical drafting workflows. Add it to your quick access toolbar or create an easy alias for it. &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;DON'T FORGET ABOUT THOSE AWESOME EXPRESS TOOLS THAT WE ARE BLESSED WITH, THEY OFTEN GET OVERLOOKED BECAUSE WE GET USED TO OUR EVERYDAY REPETATIVE WORKFLOWS.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Great idea and question, I hope more people answer as this is a very interesting topic! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
