Try the [CMD]HYPERLINK[/CMD] command or dynamic [CMD]FIELD[/CMD].]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:30:34 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=4158&title=cad-attributes#4158 <![CDATA[CAD attributes : Hi, What about &#039;List&#039;...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=4156&title=cad-attributes#4156 Author: Rman

Hi,

What about 'List' command?

Thank you, I will take a look at that, but my school is on a very small budget.  Is there something I can do that allows me to display information (without me entering the data manually) in AutoCAD?

You can try to attach Hyperlink information for such pop-up information, but GIS applications give much more options and flexibility for this. I would recommend AutoCAD Map and Autodesk MapGuide.]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:25:18 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=4154&title=cad-attributes#4154 <![CDATA[CAD attributes : Yeah, that does make sense.

Yeah, that does make sense.  I should have read a little more before I posted my question. 

I have another question though, maybe you can help me. I'm working on this map of my campus and it contains different areas like turf, concrete, asphalt, and so on. 

So what I want to do is; if someone was viewing the file and they clicked on a particle area like turf, then an attachment or something would pop up and information like the area, perimeter, etc. would be displayed.

Is this possible?  I think I've seen this done on autocad, but it could also have been GIS or something else.

Yes, although you can have attdefs as standalone objects (makes little sense - only to use the DWG as an external block).]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:05:04 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=4152&title=cad-attributes#4152 <![CDATA[CAD attributes : Can attributes only be attached...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=4151&title=cad-attributes#4151 Author: madiecady

Can attributes only be attached to blocks?
