Hello Forum
This is my first post, and I'm new to progeCAD and fairly new to CAD generally!
I'd like to know the procedure for extracting Object properties data (say from a layer or project drawing file) to a .csv or .xls file.
Is it possible to give an object a custom name - ie a pline, polygon etc? Ideally the data that I extract will have a reference to the Object that is relevant to the project - for example, I work on sub-development plans drawn in CAD - I'd like to be able to call a polyline / polygon a name relevant to the drawing - ie Lot xxx, or Catchment yyy and so forth, and then have the data relevant to this object in the next columns... length, area in particular.
I'd like to be able to quickly feed this data into a spreadsheet so that the information can be used for further analysis - currently it is done line / polyline by line... so far it is slow and tedious so Im looking for a way to improve efficiency.
Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I have searched the forum and the documentation but so far have only found ways of importing information from excel into progeCAD rather than the reverse.
Thank you immensely for any assistance.
Justin.
