Finding specific attributes in AutoCAD drawing

Question

So basically I will be given a spreadsheet with AutoCAD drawing attributes and I need to find each attribute in the AutoCAD drawing and replace its value with the one from the spreadsheet.

Is there a way to find an Attribute with a specific tag name in an AutoCAD drawing without searching every single block? Also, I am writing this in C#.

Answer 1

No, you have to filter through each block and each block attribute tag to see if it has the tag you are looking for.

If you look at the project I have authored on github you will find it to be relatively simple. I created the classes specifically for issues of this sort.
