The command is similar to DataExtraction but interacts with other A>V>C> plugins: it works with the names of solids and lines created by the A>V>C> Properties Palette and can extract solid metrics, including descriptions of surface and edge banding.

Features of the program:

• Extract basic properties of all drawing objects: 2D, 3D, annotations, and materials.

• Work with the names of lines and solids. And with all other object properties that are available in the A>V>C> Properties Palette.

• Work with the metric of solids, with dimensions of parts, their materials, coatings, edge banding, weight, and price.

• Combine data on blocks and solids in one table, thus creating a complete bill of materials (BOM).

• Filter only the necessary objects from all selected by layer, by type of object, or by manufacturing technology.

• Create a single table from objects from different drawings (DWG or DXF).

• Process all objects visible through the viewport or ModelDoc=ViewBase view (selecting by view).

• Read objects from inside assembly blocks, dynamic blocks, and external references.

• The program can count how many assembly blocks are used in model space, no matter how many you have selected.

• Use Autodesk® AutoCAD® Fields to easily update tables.

• Numbering, write down names as numbers in order. Group numbering is continuous. Numeric or alphabetical. This numbering can later be used by the Smart Leader (ALD) program.

• Customize any kind of table, with any columns, using the Substitutions system.

• Create combined columns from multiple part parameters.

• Format numbers and any data using substitution formats. Each column can be formatted differently.

• Group table rows into sections and insert group names.

• Sort rows in ascending or descending order.

• Combine identical lines into one; count the number of combined lines.

• Distinguish objects not only by the extracted data but also geometrically, by the drawing.

• Count sums in concatenated rows.

• Multiply the number of parts by a given multiplier. This allows you to count the number of parts for a series of products in one drawing.

• Calculate mathematical formulas from single-row data, including trigonometric functions.

• Calculate totals by group and across the entire table.

• Assist with cost and weight estimates for solid parts assemblies.

• Save results in DWG tables or texts.

• Split long tables into multiple sheets.

• Save results in Excel, CSV, or XML files.

• Automatically pick the folder and name for the spreadsheet file according to your settings.

• Save results to the clipboard for pasting into any programs.

• Quickly switch between multiple presets (styles).

• Work in 1 click. Select a table to insert data, along with objects to retrieve data.

• Customize all these features in a convenient dialog box.

With the program free of charge, the command works with tables "Paste To Table" (PTT) and "SplitTable". As you know, you cannot just copy the cells from Excel and paste them into AutoCAD. This defect is partly compensated by the command "Paste to Table." With its help, you can insert in the AutoCAD table any texts separated by tabs and line breaks. Including data copied to the clipboard using the DataTable command. And the command "SplitTable" will help to send to the printer a table that does not fit into one layout.

The AVC_DataTable plugin comes with the command to Update All Tables (TableUpdate) and the command to Fill in the Table (TableFill).

The DataTable command is part of the A>V>C> Pro collection.

Regardless of the AutoCAD localization language, you can switch the plugin to English, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese (PRC), Spanish, French, or Turkish localization.
