NouhaO Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hi all, I am trying to generate a report in Vectorworks Architect 2025 that lists the content of text objects in my drawing. However, I’m having trouble finding the correct field to display the Text Content in the report. I’ve tried using the Reports tool and filtering by Type = Text, but I can’t seem to find the option to display the actual text content in the report. Has anyone else experienced this or can suggest a way to display Text Content in a report? Alternatively, are there other methods (like using the Database Manager or Object Info Palette) that I can use to collect and export the text data into Excel? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pat Stanford Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The standard worksheet functions to not allow the transfer of the text block content to a worksheet cell. I think there is a Worksheet Script floating around the forum that does this function, but I don't have time to find it right now. Quote Link to comment
shorter Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 If you place text using a callout, you could create a txt callout database which would contain all the text in all the callouts on the project. You can then import the txt file into excel as delimited text. Quote Link to comment
shorter Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 ...or vice versa and create your callout databse using excel in the first place... Quote Link to comment
