An attribute is informational text associated with a block. Use ATTEXT to extract attribute data at the command line and DDATTEXT to extract attribute data using the Attribute Extraction dialog box.
Generates a file containing one record for each block reference in the drawing. Commas separate the fields of each record. Single quotation marks enclose the character fields.
In the Select Template File dialog box, enter the name of an existing attribute extraction template file.
In the Create Extract File dialog box, enter a name for the output file. AutoCAD LT adds a .txt extension to extraction files in CDF or SDF format.
Generates a file containing one record for each block reference in the drawing. The fields of each record have a fixed width; therefore, field separators or character string delimiters are not used.
In the Select Template File dialog box, enter the name of an existing attribute extraction template file.
In the Create Extract File dialog box, enter a name for the output file. AutoCAD LT adds a .txt extension to extraction files in CDF or SDF format.
Produces a subset of the AutoCAD LT drawing interchange file format containing only block reference, attribute, and end-of-sequence objects. DXF-format extraction does not require an attribute extraction template. AutoCAD LT adds the file extension .dxx to distinguish the output file from normal DXF files.
In the Create Extract File dialog box, enter a name for the output file. AutoCAD LT adds a .txt extension to output files in CDF or SDF format.

Related Commands: DDATTEXT uses dialog boxes to extract attribute
data. DDATTE and ATTEDIT edit attributes independently
of their associated block definitions. DDATTDEF and ATTDEF
create an attribute definition for text to be associated with
a block.
System Variables: ATTDIA causes the INSERT command to use
dialog boxes for entry of attribute values. ATTMODE controls
the attribute display mode. ATTREQ determines whether the
INSERT command uses default attribute settings during insertion
of blocks.
