Hi, I am Lĩnh. I have an application call Attribute Plus,
creating Design Spreadsheet in AutoCAD, with AutoCAD
block. If you are interesting in,follow my link below to
load the drawing file from MediaFire and see my
introduction in the drawing:

Spreadsheet samples with AutoCAD block</a>

I call the block Paramblock. With Paramblock as design
spreadsheet, the attributes and the dynamic block
properties are variables. There are several advantages to
create design spreadsheet on AutoCAD:
1. You can illustrate your spreadsheet graphically and
easily (better than Excel), especially with Dynamic
Block.
2. You write the formulas to the VBCode Editor with
variables are the Attributes Tags and the Dynamic Block
labels. In Excel, you got to write the formulas with the
Cell's Address
3. Paramblock is easy to create as my application
offer you alot of special technique dealing with the
attributes :)

I program this application in AutoCAD 2008, VBA language,
Microsoft XP 32 bits. My Paramblock would work well with
AutoCAD 2007 and later.

If you like my application, send me some messages about
yourself and I would add you to my Address book for
further contact. I would create a
blog on the application as soon as possible to update the
application and something more about AutoCAD

Hope we can together create a library of Paramblocks -
Design Spreadsheets using this technique, in AutoCAD,
make AutoCAD really automation CAD :)
Cheers,
Thank you,
