This routine exports a list of Blocks that are placed in the current drawing directly to a project (to view the exported data access the 'CAD Project Schedule' tab on the selected projected held on the IconSystem.

Detailed Functionality

The user is first prompted to select a project from a pop-up window which is the project that the block quantities will be exported to. The list of projects is populated by data held in the IconSystem.

Next the routine steps through all Blocks currently displayed in drawing (it is recommended that blocks to be exported are not on 'Off' or 'Frozen' in order to process the blocks correctly) and exports the blocks to the selected project on the IconSystem.

The user's default browser will then be opened and directed to the selected project on the IconSystem..

Along with the export a local JSON file is created (this file is stored in the same folder location as the drawing) displaying all the blocks in the drawing.
