What it does
Click&Search performs read-only batch searches across multiple DWG files using AutoCAD Core Console, without opening the AutoCAD graphical interface or modifying DWG files. It searches single-line text, multi-line text, and block attributes, with multiple search strings and quoted exact matching. Processing runs in parallel, and results are exported to an Excel report with global statistics, per-file results, and groups by search string. User cancellation stops processes, temporary files are removed, and network access is not required.
