Calling out block attributes

[Anonymous]

I have a bunch of surveyed points in a file that are all the same kind of block with various attributes or line items that you can see when you click on the block and look in the properties. One of the pieces of information that is located in the properties is a "code". I was also provided an excel file that has the depths of the various points which are referenced by naming the code and giving the corresponding depth of the pipe at that point. Ultimately the goal is to call out the approximate depths of each of the corresponding points in my drawing. My question is what is the easiest/quickest/most straight forward way to display all of the "codes" or better yet be able to look at a list of the block codes and then have AutoCAD show me which block corresponds to that code. I cant imagine that I have to go through the entire drawing clicking each of the points until I find the ones that are in the excel doc with a depth and then manually call out that depth.

I ran a data extraction on the blocks in the file to produce a .csv file of their properties.  The information in the file is formatted as (from the blocks)  "Name, X, Y, Z, Code" .  This file could be read back in as points in a P,E,N,Z,D format.  You could then sort the points based on their descriptions (formerly the block 'code')  Once sorted you could then label them in groups with a style that lists the depth for that group. Each group would have its own label style as the depth would be a static value within the label style.

I suppose you could add a User Defined Property to the points for a Depth value, edit the points in a given group to add the depth value for that group then use a single label style with the Depth property included in the label.
