Data Extraction

As I explain in Chapter 17, attributes are variable text strings that you create as part of a block definition. The data in the attributes can be edited or extracted easily in regular AutoCAD, and nearly as easily in AutoCAD LT (AutoCAD LT lacks the full version's Data Extraction Wizard, which extracts information from objects and from attributed or non-attributed blocks.) If being able to use all the data in your AutoCAD drawings, choosing the full version would be a better bet.
