You can use DBconnect to link your drawing entities to database records or to display database data as attributes in your drawing. Can be quite powerful when used properly.
You can find more information in AutoCAD Help. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) https://www.linkedin.com/in/vmichl/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn , Autodesk Expert Elite |

Yes - you can setup it this way (you may need to issue an update/regen command). ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) https://www.linkedin.com/in/vmichl/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn , Autodesk Expert Elite |
