Hi drafters, hope you can help me with that one. It's a question concerning Autocad but also sketchup.When I export a 3D model to dwg, and I open it with autocad, I notice that sketchup (or acad) have created an attribut for every group in the model. So I can see little text everywhere saying GROUP #345, GROUP#267.. etc. Doesn't seems to do it with component, only with groups.This is a bit annoying. Mostly when you have a lot of blocs, into blocs, into blocs... I struggled in cad to find a LISP able to delete all nested attribut. I found a few. Mostly by using ATTOUT and ATTIN command but so far... no success. Most of LISP (like attdel.lsp) give me error message. And when I try removing the attribut in the bloc. Cad can't find it... even with QSEL. The only tric I found is to rename the attribut with a space, so nothing is shown in the drawing. But this is only a bandaid... not a real fix!Any idea!

I'd do another search for a lisp routine that will strip out attributes from nested blocks.  If you can't find one then you'll have to write it yourself or ask someone to do it for you.

Got my answer.....    You use the command IMPORTSKP in cad to import drawing from Sketchup (version 8) and voilĂ ! Problem fixed.
