AutoCAD® Data Extraction
Block Attributes / SQL Links / Extended Entity Data
The practice of using AutoCAD drawings to store non-graphical data and links to external databases is rapidly gaining in popularity. Until now, a user was forced to have a seat of AutoCAD to be able to access this information. This fact has obviously limited the number of users throughout the company who have benefited from this very powerful feature. Now, FastLook gives you the ability to access this information directly from the drawing without the need for AutoCAD.
FastLook has the capability to display data stored as block attributes, extended entity data and SQL links. When FastLook is integrated with a host application using DLL calls, any external application can make use of this data. Simply pick an entity, and the associated data is passed to your application.
