Projects and catalogs
The basis of each database is a catalog - the project database, which includes the tables with various information acquired from drawing blocks of AutoCAD along with other user-defined information. Each table can contain information on several drawings.Main Features
Simultaneous editing in database and in drawing
All changes in the database will be reflected in all the corresponding drawings (updating of the attributes in blocks). Each change of any drawing (editing of the attributes) will be recorded in the database.
Global changes of the block properties and their attributes.
You can globally change layers, colors, line types, properties of the attributes (style, height, visibility,...) directly from the database environment. Simultaneous changes in several drawings can be performed without opening them in AutoCAD, simply by one-click of a mouse.Zoom
Use zooming in order to find immediately the selected block in a drawing. If the given block is not in the current drawing, the corresponding drawing will be opened automatically...
Marking
You can graphically mark the selected blocks in several drawings simultaneously without opening them in AutoCAD, simply by one-click of a mouse.
Export
You can export data from your database to other data formats.
Queries
Using appropriate dialog boxes you can define simple filters and sorting criteria as well as complicated SQL Statements...
data manager
is a general tool for data management in drawings, without use of specialized expensive software. Using datamanager you will immediately create a database (Internal Database or Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access... etc). The module will assure a trouble-free communication among all your drawings and various databases. You can edit data in a database or in your AutoCAD drawing according to your needs...
Straightaway you create professional Facility Management meeting all your particular requirements.
Brief Introduction
- Simple generation of the list of components from arbitrary number of drawings
- Simultaneous editing in the database and in the drawing
- Global changes of block properties and of their attributes
- Editing, marking, selection in drawings, searching by zooming and other AutoCAD operations directly from database environment
- In the connection with the areamanager module all the AutoCAD objects can be globally modified directly from the database environment (e.g. SOLID-hatching in the management of drawing areas)

Total flexibility
The database structure of a catalog and of its tables can be modified at any time to meet your requirements.
The changes carried out by the AutoCAD commands in any drawing will update in the database.
The database changes performed in datamanager or in any other program (Microsoft Access for example) will update in all the corresponding drawings.
Table Wizard
The blocks with attributes are the basis of every database table. The tables consist of rows and columns. Each row displays information on one block and the columns represent individual attributes or user-defined information (e.g. price,...)The Table Wizard enables you to create the required database structure of your table immediately. At first you select the particular drawings (directly or using wildcards). datamanager will display the list of all blocks occurring in the chosen drawings. The required blocks can be selected from the list or using wildcards. datamanager will automatically create the database structure including all fields (attributes) from all the selected blocks.
The table structure can be modified arbitrarily. You choose which fields (columns) will be removed or modified, or whether you change their sequence or properties (name, type, length,...).
You can also define new fields with specific information or with information related to the block properties (layer, name, coordinates,...).
