I have created a simple 3D DWG where I attached some attributes to some blocks and entered attribute values to the instances of the blocks. When I export this DWG to DWF3D, the block name and 3D graphical information is exported to DWF but the attribute values are not.
So imagine a Block "PUMP" which has attributes "Tag" and "Manufacturer" and a block instance has attribute value Tag="P-101" and Manufacturer="Pump Vendor A". The Block name "PUMP" and is 3D representation is exported to DWF3D but the Tag and Manufacturer attribute values are not (at least I can't observe or get it to work).
I know DWF3D does support attribute information and I am able to attach attribute information programmatically via the DWF Toolkit. I can, of course, try to separately extract attribute information as suggested on the AutoCAD forum and later (maybe) via the toolkit "magically" add the attributes to the DWF but was wondering if there is a built-in AutoCAD feature to export attribute values to DWF3D. I'm not sure if this is simply not supported or if I am doing something wrong. I have very limited/basic AutoCAD knowledge so please forgive my ignorance and possibly incorrect terminology.
Your feedback, help is much appreciated.
