To Create a Block Scheme for Custom Parts Lists (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

1. Create a block for the heading row. To create the block:
   1. In the drawing area, create the frame and heading text for the heading row.
   2. Use the BLOCK command to convert the geometry and text into a block.
      Note: The block name must end with the digit 0.
2. Create blocks for the parts list data rows. To create the blocks:
   1. In the drawing area, create the geometry for the parts list row pattern.
   2. Use the ATTDEF command to add attributes to display row data.
      Note:

      • Place the attributes at the position you intend to display the component.
      • The tags of the attributes must be the component property name or the component property ID (See the topic Component Property Id Reference for a full list of component ).
   3. Use the BLOCK command to convert the geometry and attributes into blocks.
      Note:

      • The body blocks must have the same name as the heading block, but must end with a digit other than 0.
      • The name of the first body block must end with the digit 1, the second with the digit 2, and so on.
   4. In the drawing area, move the blocks to obtain the desired appearance of a data row.

Tip: A formula can be used as the tag for attributes included in custom parts list blocks.
