Extract Block Attribute Properties

Launch the Autodesk Data Management Server Console.
Select Tools Index Block Attributes.
In the Index Block Attributes dialog box, click New.
Enter the name of the attributed block containing the values you want to expose in vault.
Click OK to add the block name.
Check in a DWG containing the specified block. If the DWG is already checked in, check it out and back in or execute a reindex.
NoteIf you prefer to use the prompt instead of an attribute tag, you can choose to do so. To use the prompt instead of the attribute tag when it is available, enable the "Extract attribute prompt when available" check box. If this check box is turned on and there is no prompt, the attribute tag is used.
