Autodesk® AutoCAD® attribute block, dynamic block are great; Microsoft® Excel® worksheet autofill is also marvelous. Why don't we combine them?

This app is designed to make use of both of the above great features in one place:

- You can batch-create block references with attributes' content read from an Excel worksheet. Each worksheet column can be set corresponding to an attribute tag; each worksheet row text data corresponds to a block reference attribute's values.

- You can batch-create block references with dynamic properties' value read from an Excel worksheet. Each worksheet column can be set corresponding to a dynamic property; each worksheet row's text data corresponds to a block reference dynamic property's values.

- Block names can also be read from an Excel column for further mass production improvement. That means multi-block types can be inserted with a single click.

- For further automation, field attributes cloning from an existing block reference to other block references is also supported;

- A sub-option for insertion of block references through all layouts (except Model space) in X, Y positioning mode is available;

Data required for positioning block references in the drawing is also retrieved from the worksheet, the same mechanism as the attribute/ dynamic property, except the data type is numeric. Block references can be positioned in one of the following ways:

Along with a profile view;
By X, Y, and Z coordinate values in WCS;
Along a 2D polyline;
Along with an Autodesk® Civil 3D® alignment (Option (4) is only available in Civil 3D applications).

Typical usage scenarios are:

Insert structure block refs along profile/ alignment (eg, manhole block, pier/abutment block, culvert block, traffic sign block, tree block...)
Insert description/comment block refs for those structures, along with profile/ alignment

Typically, the app works with the World Coordinate System (WCS) and Model space.

If the User Coordinate System (UCS) was used in the model, an implicit transformation to WCS is applied; The App also works in Paper space (Layout) or inside an active Viewport, but in such cases, it is recommended that users should double-check the results before mass production.
