copy attributes between files

[maegras]

Hello everyone, I did an internet search but without success.

I have a file where a series of information has been inserted within attributes without creating blocks. so I find myself a file with n attribute definitions with as many n different values inserted as attribute label.
I should copy all attributes and related label values into a new file.

Is there a way to do this without having to manually re-enter all label values?

ctrl + c
ctrl + v

If it were so simple I wouldn't be here
within the destination file, when I go to paste, attributes all return to the default, blank label, losing all data strings contained in them. . .

seeks a lisp (it seems lee mac has it) that transforms attributes (not their value) into texts.
then do the paste copy

or create a text and copy as many as you need. using copyswaptext of lee mac, copy to one to one the value of each attribute on one of the created texts.
once completed copy only the texts and paste them on the other side.
of course you lose the attribute character (but I don't know what it's for if you don't fit in a block as you edit it changes the tag, not the value)

in all cases, copying attributes so made in an empty file, I do not lose the value of the tag (tag) and does not take the default value.
is it that in the target file you already have blocks that contain these attributes?

at the least worst saves the current file with a new name and copies all the not attributed from the target file to the copy file you created

I don't know either, but I work in a company in which suppliers take my designs and insert their "tags" on the various pieces represented in the design to facilitate assembly operations in the yard, the infamous tags are precisely these unblocked acts.
I cannot transform them into text because I must maintain interoperability, that is to allow the supplier to make some changes if necessary to the elements that he himself has tagged.

in all cases, copying attributes so made in an empty file, I do not lose the value of the tag (tag) and does not take the default value.

I tried both copying and gluing normally, and pasting as a block but nothing to do, in both cases I get out of the board that requires the values of the attributes. If I create a block before I copy and paste it deletes the content of tags...

at the least worst saves the current file with a new name and copies all the not attributed from the target file to the copy file you created

I thought about it but it would be a workman, the tags are few, the other tens of thousands... I was even thinking of inserting them as xref but it would be just the last beach. the files on which work have average 30/40 xref each and I would like to avoid weighting further

in preliminary phase use the command of the express blocks\export attribute information, save the txt file, copy and paste and in the target file restore the attributes with import attribute information.
