How to import AutoCAD BLOCKS with attributes

DWG drawings from AutoCAD can contain BLOCK data with specific attributes.CAD blocks are named groups of objects that act as a single 2D or 3D object. You can use them to create repeated content, such as drawing symbols, common components, and standard details. In this example we will be using theTygron NLCS Basis interpretatie Template as a Geo Plugin. This Geo Plugin contains a layer which can recognize an attribute from an incoming AutoCAD BLOCK. Let us first examine this Geo Plugin link to see how this works.

How to examine "Basis NLCS Interpretatie" template:

1. Create a new project if your current project does not have the "Basis NLCS interpretatie" Geo Plugin.
2. When giving your project a name select "Use existing Template" and choose "Tygron Dxf Template". This will make sure that the "Basis NLCS interpretatie" is added tot your new project.
3. When your project is loaded, go to Tools and click on Geo Plugins.
4. In the left panel click on "Basis NLCS interpretatie"
5. In the right panel click on the GeoLinks tab to display all Links available in the Geo Plugin.
