General Description
-------------------

AttExt is the next program in Intelcad BLITZ! series of standalone power tools for
processing AutoCAD drawings. As other products in this series,  AttExt doesnt need
AutoCAD in order to operate, it reads DWG files with extreme speed of 1000s of drawings
per hour and it can process DWG files from all versions of AutoCAD including R2000.

This program extracts attribute values from processed drawings as per user specification
and creates extract *.TXT file in CSV format that can be easily imported into most
database and spreadsheet programs, including Microsoft Access and Excel.

Few applications for AttExt that we can envision at this time:

 Searchable catalog of all company drawings containing titleblock. Just generate
attribute extract file from all 30000 drawings on a server and import it into Microsoft
Access database. Then sort it by title, by disk path, find duplicate titles and other
mistakes in titleblocks. With the extreme processing speed you can update this database
as often as you need (eg. every 24 hrs).

 Bill of Material (BOM). Read attributes values into Excel and process them with Excel
tools. Or make custom program that reads CSV output from AttExt (its easy to read CSV,
it is an ASCII text file, where each line is for one record and each data field in a
record is separated by chosen delimiter).

We will be adding the new programs to BLITZ! family of DWG tools in the near future,
check Other Products from Intelcad Systems.

To keep up-to-date with our developments, please visit often our downloads section at
www.intelcad.com. Each of the products will be offered for free evaluation, so that you
can try all its features with no hassle and then decide if its worth buying.

If you have certain particular need in terms of standalone processing of DWG files,
please let us know. Its quite possible that we will be able to address your need
in BLITZ! family of DWG tools.

Thank you for your interest in this program. If you find any flaws in it, or see how
it could be made better, we welcome your suggestions. Valid suggestions can be
implemented and distributed within few weeks.
