The Realization of Custom Extending Attribute Information of AutoCAD

In order to add custom attribute information to AutoCAD graphic data more flexibly and conveniently, we study the problem of custom extending CAD attribute information which exists in AutoCAD, and implement the custom extending function of AutoCAD attribute information by ObjectARX components in .NET development environment. Respectively, we adopt the XData way and database dictionary way for extending. Finally, we extend GIS attribute data in CAD graphic file and apply to practice. The application results show that this method is convenient, flexible and is worthy to be popularized.
