We have a series of assembly drawings, getting close to 400 will likely be over 1000, that have part tags built into them, as attributed blocks so we can extract the info.
What we're looking to do, is run data extraction with a script file, once per file, to insert a table into each file, with the parts that occur on that individual sheet.
It works fine doing them one at a time, because it builds a separate .dxe file for each. I've tried to find a way to run it with a script, but the dxe file stores the drawing name that it was built in, and pulls the data from there.
i.e. Manually, parts.dxe is used the build the table in sheet 100. Then the script is run and opens 101, and runs -dataextraction with parts.dxe
but, it inserts the parts list from 100. I've searched for quite a while, and can't find a way around it. Any one run across this before? Or, and I stuck creating a dxe for each file, manually?
