The Drawings-ExtendCustomAttributes.xls workbook allows you to manage large amounts of custom attributes. Each row you add in this workbook provides storage for approximately 25 extra custom properties in the DrawingCustomProperties.xls workbook. This workbook is available on the customer support web site.
The following example shows the CustomInterfaces sheet set up to use the IJDwgUAHelperEx interface with OverrideExtension properties.
The left-most column (column A) of the sheet specifies the bulkload action taken with regard to the row. For example, an A in the column indicates the drawing volume part class is being added; the letter D specifies the class is deleted; the letter M indicates the class is modified. A ! symbol specifies that the row is ignored during bulkloading.
