      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi I'm using AutoCAD 2016 on Windows 10.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am wondering if there is a way to link the data you extract using EATTEXT so that updates made within the generated Excel table automatically update the attribute values back in CAD and vice versa.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ie. I have my drawing with a few blocks that have multiple attributes. I use EATTEXT to extract the desired information from my blocks. Upon reviewing the tabulated information in Excel I realize I need to make some changes to some of the block's attribute values. I'd like to be able to make that change within Excel and have it update the blocks in CAD and vice versa -&amp;gt; if I change the attribute value in CAD it updates the tables' values automatically.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you in advance,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ollie&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;There is no ootb command to do that, except ATTIN ATTOUT (in fullversions).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You need a program extension.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This can be done using DATAEXTRACTION command.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Alternatively, go to Annotate tab=&amp;gt;Tables panel=&amp;gt;Extract Data icon.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This command uses a wizard comprising of 8 steps. On step 6 of the wizard,&amp;nbsp;you will be presented with a&amp;nbsp;dialog box. The dialog will look like this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="At step 6 of the wizard, you'll see this (see image above)." style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/549804i4B525C6FEE7EA664/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="2-step 6 of 8.PNG" alt="At step 6 of the wizard, you'll see this (see image above)." /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;At step 6 of the wizard, you'll see this (see image above).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Select 'insert data extraction table into drawing' as shown above. At the completion of all 8 steps, you will insert the table containing the extracted data.&amp;nbsp;The table&amp;nbsp;will look something like this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Grren corners indicate it's a 'linked' table." style="width: 725px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/549805iD3B3439CC4683300/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="3-green corners.png" alt="Grren corners indicate it's a 'linked' table." /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Grren corners indicate it's a 'linked' table.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The GREEN corners indicate the table is 'LINKED' which means that edits can go either upstream or downstream. This means depending on the&amp;nbsp;button you use, the edit can go from &lt;U&gt;block-to-table&lt;/U&gt; or from &lt;U&gt;table-to-block&lt;/U&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Using these buttons, you can edit either the block or the table, and the other will update." style="width: 449px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/549809i0B302C00B165D814/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="4-down or upB.PNG" alt="Using these buttons, you can edit either the block or the table, and the other will update." /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Using these buttons, you can edit either the block or the table, and the other will update.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Of course, you'll still need to format your table to make it pretty.&amp;nbsp;The concept&amp;nbsp;linking data, however,&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;built into the program. You just have to know where to look to find&amp;nbsp; it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to do a Screencast of this? I am not aware of a way to update the blocks from a dataextraction table. When I use those two icons, it indicates that I can upload to source (external drawing file)&amp;nbsp;OR upload from the external datasource to update the table.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would love to be proven wrong as this is a frequent request.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Agreed, using this method I can only update from block-table and it doesn't update my excel file, only the table inserted in the drawing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it just me or should this not be a pretty basic built in feature for AutoCAD? Being able to see a list of all instances of every block and their attributes in your drawing in table form and have the ability to update the attribute values from the table seems like it would be an essential tool for many CAD users. It would make editing large numbers of block attributes quite fast and simple given each instance of the blocks had a unique identifier code.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
