GT_OD2XD
The GT_OD2XD command transfers AutoCAD Map Object Table data to Xdata. This could be useful if you need to transfer your AutoCAD Map drawing to a someone who does not have AutoCAD Map. In this case, the Object Table data can be exported as Xdata so that it can be accessed by a plain AutoCAD version.
Object Tables to export: Select the Object Data Tables that you want to be exported and they will be transferred as extended entity data with the same application
name as the object table name.
Export all tables: Select this
option to select and export all the tables in the current drawing.
Note: This command will work only under AutoCAD Map and vertical applications that work on AutoCAD Map (like AutoCAD Land Development Desktop).

Objektdaten in Blockattribute übertragen
Command
line: GT_OD2ATT / GT_ODA - GT_OD2ATT
The GT_OD2ATT command is used to transfer AutoCAD Map Object Data to block
attributes.
Object Table to transfer: Choose the object table to
transfer from this drop-down list.
Block Name to populate: Choose the block name to
populate attributes from this drop-down list of current blocks in the
drawing.
Fields: Lists the names of the fields in the selected object table.
Attributes: Lists the names of the attributes in the currently
selected block.
Object Table -> Attribute mapping: This section shows the
current mapping between the object table and the corresponding block
attribute. More than one object table can be mapped to the same attribute.
The object data will then be appended to the attribute value in the order
in which it is defined in this section. While appending to attributes, the
field concatenation string will be used in between the two strings. While
transferring integer, floating point and point value object table data to
attributes, they will be converted to strings as per the current settings
for Units type and precision as set in GeoTools.
Transfer Options:
Block to Block only: Brings up a selection box to select only
blocks. The object table data is directly transferred from each selected
block to its own attributes as per the mapping specified above.
Any Object to Block:
Choosing this option allows a manual method of
operation for this command using the ODA command. This allows any object
to be selected and its object data is transferred to a selected block
whose name and attribute mapping etc. are specified in this dialog
box.
Fields concatenation string: The string specified here is used in between
the two object data strings in the case of multiple mapping viz. more than
one object table data being mapped to the same attribute value.
Auto link similar named Field->Attributes: Checking this option
causes all similar named Object field Names and Attribute tags to get
linked automatically.

Blockattribute in Objektdaten übertragen
Command
line: GT_ATT2OD
/ GT_AOD
The GT_ATT2OD command is the opposite of GT_OD2ATT and is used to transfer Block
Attribute information to AutoCAD Map Object Data.
Block Name to transfer from: Specify the block name to
transfer from the list of defined blocks in the current
drawing.
Object Table to populate:
Specify the Object Table name from this list of current
tables in the drawing.
Attributes: Lists the names of the attributes in the currently
selected block.
Fields: Lists the names of the fields in the selected object
table.
Attribute -> Object Table mapping: This section shows the
current mapping between the block attributes for the selected block and
the corresponding field in the object table. Multiple attribute to object
table association is not possible with the GT_ATT2OD command i.e more than
one attribute cannot be linked to the same object table but the same
attribute can be linked to more than one table if required. While
transferring data to the object table, the attribute string is
appropriately converted into the data type that the object data is in i.e
if the object table field is of type Integer or Real, the attribute string is
subjected to an integer or floating point conversion and the resulting
value is stored. Similarly, if the object data table is a field of type Point,
then the attribute is expected to be in the form of a point string
comprising of three values separated by a comma. The string will then be
converted and stored as a Point data.
Transfer Options:
Block to Block only: Brings up a selection box to select only
blocks. The attributes are directly transferred from each selected
block to its own object table as per the mapping specified above.
Block to Any Object: Choosing this option allows a manual method of
operation using the GT_AOD command. This allows the mapping.
Automatically link similar named Attribute->Fields: Checking
this option causes all similar named Attribute tags and Object Fields to
get linked automatically.
Transfer specified attributes from ANY block->: Checking
this option allows two or more differently named blocks with similarly named attribute tags
to be used for the transfer of attributes to object table data. Disabling this option causes
only blocks matching the specified name AND tag would be selected for the transfer process.
Enter Attribute tags to transfer->: Specify the tag names which
have to be transferred to object data table. Press enter for listing the
tag name in Attributes box after you type.
Note:
You can type only one tag name at a time in Enter Attribute tags to
transfer box.

attribute can be linked to more than one table if required. While
transferring data to the object table, the attribute string is
appropriately converted into the data type that the object data is in i.e

Run current query with 'Alter Properties' and format label placements
Command
line: GT_QUERYPROC
The GT_QUERYPROC command is used to format the labels created during a
query process with the 'Alter Properties' option set. The way AutoCAD Map
displays the labels after a query does not allow flexible positioning
and formatting of the label text. The GT_QUERYPROC command attempts to fill that need by allowing various ways in
which you can position the text labels immediately following the execution
of the query command with the 'Alter Properties' option set. There are
two main types of objects that can be queried - point objects and
linear/polygonal objects. Point objects include the AutoCAD Points,
Shapes, Blocks and Text objects. Linear and polygonal objects include
Line, polyline, spline, 3dface etc. GT_QUERYPROC can work with any of these
objects to format the associated labels information. Linear/polygon
object labels: First point:
Places the label at the first point of the linear of polygon object
Last point: Places the label at the first point of the linear of
polygon object
Middle point: Places the label at the first point of the linear of
polygon object
Centroid: Places the label at the first point of the linear of
polygon object
Repeated: Choosing this option causes the text annotation to be
repeated along the length of the object.
Repeat distance: Specify the distance interval along which
the label must be repeated. Text offset options: Offset Text labels:
Checking this option causes the text labels to be offset from their
position
Relative to rotation angle: Checking this option causes the offset
of rotated text to be along the rotation angle viz. if a text is rotated
by 30 degrees, then an X Offset of 2.0 will push the text in the direction
of 30 degrees by a distance of 2.0 rather than in the direction of 0.0 as
would happen if it were not relative to rotation angle.
X Offset: Specify the X offset distance
Y Offset: Specify the Y offset distance Text Rotation options Rotate Text labels:
Checking this option causes the text labels to be rotated
Relative to rotation angle: Checking this option causes the
rotation of text to be relative to the rotation angle viz. if a text is
rotated by 30 degrees, then a rotation of 10 degrees would cause it to
become 40 degrees.
Rotation angle: Specify the rotation angle.
