How to attach XDATA to multiple block objects.

[ballalyash]

I want to attach XDATA to a .dwg file which contains over 1000 block objects approximately.
I'm using AutoCAD 2020.

Are you trying to attach the data to the blocks or the drawing?

Hi @ballalyash 

Plain vanilla AutoCAD can't deal with XDATA because it doesn't read or understand it. You'll need to use either AutoCAD Map3D or AutoCAD Civl3D, both have the capability to read XDATA.

You should download a trial version of the >>Map3D toolset.<<  If you have questions, post them in the AutoCAD Map3D Forum, not this one.

The whole drawing which has different types of block objects. Manually I can attach it one by one, but it'll take forever.
I need to know how to attach it to all the objects at a time.

Sorry, my bad.
My requirement is for individual objects, but xdata should get attached to all the objects present in a Drawing.
