I am trying to create a tool that automatically checks my AutoCAD drawings for specific information. Previously I used the EATTEXT command to pull data like attributes, geometry (including x and y position), and drawing information from my drawings to an Excel file. This would only work for specific things that had already been selected in the EATTEXT data extraction ".dxe" file and it could not recognize new blocks that haven't already been selected.
Because of this, I switched the way I exported data to Excel from EATTEXT to Automatic Reports. This worked well until I realized that Automatic Reports only pulls attribute data and not other types of data like geometry and drawing data. I also figured out how to use the User Attributes ".wda" file to add custom attributes but to my knowledge, you can't add position data to that.
TL;DR - Does anyone know of a way to pull the other types of data that EATTEXT can but via the Automatic Reports function?
