JTB BatchAttEdit 3.0 - Batch Attribute Editor for BricsCAD and AutoCAD

JTB BatchAttEdit 3.0 has been released. Here are the news:

• Added BricsCAD support.
• Added block's insertion point X, Y, Z columns.
• Added Hide/Show columns option.
• Fixed bug when pasting from Excel, an unwanted empty row is pasted at bottom of the selection.
• Fixed bug when running AttSync, it resets value of empty attribute reference.

This batch attribute editor app for AutoCAD and BricsCAD 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. How do you edit all title block data?

If you want to export the attributes to Excel use the "Export - Import" button. Optionally you can make modifications in Excel for example with help of functions and formulas and then import back.

Try it for free by downloading from JTB BatchAttEdit. Existing customers just need to download and install this update.

If you are using 2018, 2019, or 2020 versions, your software and account are not affected.

Solution:

To align with industry best practices for security and data integrity, Autodesk Identity Services will move to Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 and stop supporting TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on June 15, 2019.
