I am usually dealing with thousands of tree blocks, so I finally created dynamic blocks what are suitable for changing the diameter of the trunks, the diameter of the greenery of the tree, and also whether a tree should be cut or not (a red x sign) with 'lookups' from given parameters. (example attached) Also there is an attribute for containing the number of the tree. I gathered the infos from this forum, and it works like a charm 🙂
My issue is: I get the information for the drawings in excel sheets. Is there a solution for importing these parameters from the excel sheet into my drawing, so AutoCAD automatically sets the 'lookups' for the actual values? I know about attout attin commands but it is for attributes only. Should I order attributes to the lookups? With this method would I be capable of canging the parameters of the dynamic blocks?
I never found a topic matching these issue.
Thank for your help in advance.
