Command: ZXBL

Command: ZXBL

Block data is exported to a file where each row contains the contents of desired Attributes and the coordinates of the Blocks you select.

The process is the same in the various versions of the command, and the only difference is in the suggested Blocks that are selected, the Attributes that are recorded, and the file that is saved and suggested in each new use per version.

Note:

The Attribute values that have been recorded are displayed with quotation marks so you can distinguish them from the values recorded based on Block properties (coordinates, Z, Block Name).

When an Attribute has no value, then only the quotation marks "" are recorded in the corresponding position in the file. You can replace them with any other value you wish overall.

Generally, you can remove the quotation marks overall or the spaces written between fields.
