You can use the
Data Extraction wizard to specify a set of
entities or blocks and extract properties and attributes
information.
You can:
- Create
a
bill
of materials from the set of entities.
- Display the result in a table on the drawing.
- Save the result in an external file that you can exchange with
others.
Use the ExtractData command to open the Data
Extraction wizard.
Options
in the
Data Extraction wizard let you:
- Specify the set of drawings or folders.
- Filter entities.
- Organize the extracted data.
- Specify an output format.
- Format the output data in a table.
DraftSight saves the data source
selections, entities and property selection, and table formatting in a Data Extraction
File (.det). You can use the already created Data
Extraction File as a template to perform the same type of extraction for another
drawing.
