    Batch Extraction of Autocad Attributes to Excel

    Going to try and explain this with as little confusion as possible. I have a series of drawings. Sometimes 1-10, sometimes 1-100. They all have BOM's. BOM's consist of Item#, QTY, UOM, Description, Material, & Stock Code. I want to extract the UOM, QTY, and Stock Code from all sheets in the series and send them to an excel sheet. The BOM attributes are laid out on the drawing per attachment but I only want to extract those specific attributes and put onto a spreadsheet. Would greatly appreciate any guidance on this. Tks.

    You'll probably have better luck asking in Autocad forum. As I'd suspect most of us in this forum do not have access to Autocad.

    See if link below can help you.

    If these details are in a PDF, have you tried converting the PDF to an Excel file?

    On the other hand, don't bother - I just tried with your attachment and the results would give you more headaches than they are worth!
