JTB BatchAttEdit 2.3 - Batch Attribute Editor for AutoCAD

JTB BatchAttEdit 2.3 has been released and got some bugs fixed and performance improvements.

This batch attribute editor app for AutoCAD collects attributes in all blocks of specified name patterns in multiple drawings and display in a wide spreadsheet. Then you can edit attribute texts as easy as working with Excel. Once done, click "Apply Attribute Changes" to update values to drawings.

This makes it a great app to for example edit title block attributes across many drawings instead of having to do it one drawing at a time.

Sheet Set Manager shows up blank in AutoCAD

Have you run into a problem in AutoCAD where the Sheet List is empty in Sheet Set Manager? This may only happen when trying to open certain Sheet Set DST files.

Empty Sheet Set Manager

Autodesk Support has posted about this problem in this article here.

The solution is to fix a problem in the Windows registry at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\ObjectDBX location. In the article there is a download for it. Another solution is reinstall of AutoCAD. Not sure if repair option will fix it or not though.
