Object Data export

[hgj1357]

I have a drawing with property parcels. Each polyline parcel has attached object data. FeatID and a few other fields.  I'd like to be able to export this data so I can match the parcel ID with a list of tax sale properties, then use that data to select those parcels which match anf change the color or layer or something to disginguish these parcels.

First task - export the object data.

Thanks

Hi @hgj1357,

Have you tried to do this with a Dataextraction? The only other way I am aware of grabbing this is with LISP.

Are you using plain AutoCAD? This sounds like ti would be perfect for AutoCAD Map 3D

Civil 3d.  Dataextraction does not pull the object data fields.  Unless I'm missing an option or switch.

[hgj1357]

This is what I'm talking about.  Getting this data into a CSV or similar.

OK.  I got it.

Use MAPPOLYLINETOPOLYGON to convert plines to polygons

Use mapexport to export a shape file with DBF database.

The Geospatial Editor at the Autodesk App store can automate it.

I tried your solution and it did not work for my situation.  I need exactly what you started this post with.  I want to export the properties with the added object data from a CAD file that came from a GIS  .shp file inserted with mapimport.   I have a mixture of lines and polylines all with the same type of object data that I need an inventory for.

Use the FDS Geospatial Editor tool. Try it for free at the Autodesk App store. Or go to our FDS website. It only supports Civil3D v2018-2024 right now. Being upgraded soon for 25+.  Go to our FDS webpage and watch the training video instructions. Automate GIS native in CIVIl3D!

I can not add to employer owned software.  I need an Autodesk solution.

During MAPEXPORT make sure to go to the data tab and Select Attributes.  Each type may need to be exported as separate SHP. For example points and lines can not share the same SHP.

Hi Nathan,
"a mixture of lines and polylines"
What do you want the end result to be, line shapefiles or polygon shapefiles? A CSV file?
Can you post your drawing?
