To export attributes a header file is needed. In this CAD file, the blocks and the attributes must be defined in which the data from the GIS are to be transferred. A simple example of this is a point topic labeled in the GIS with a value from a field.

 

 

 

 

In order to be able to transfer this point topic into CAD, the definition of a block in the header is necessary. The representation of the block can be selected as desired. In the example, this is shown with 2 circles. Attribute definitions must then be added to this block for the assignment of one or more attributes. The values from the attribute table in the GIS can be transferred to the attributes in the configuration.

 

 

The TaskName can be freely selected. The HeaderFileName describes the name of the header. With the Option DefaultDir the header default location could be additionally set.

The FeatureClassName represents the name of the point feature class from which the data comes. To pass blocks, the DxfEntity type Insert must be selected. The newly created layer in AutoCAD is called testpoint. Alternatively, the data could be passed to an existing layer in the header. The block name Test was created in the header. In this case, the attribute is passed via the index number. This identifies the first attribute in the block Test. The field Text field. The notation FIELD describes the reference to a field with the specified name. The value 0 defines a default value if the text field should not be filled in the GIS for the respective feature.
