I have a cad file from a surveyor with almost 5000 trees. On the drawing, each tree is labeled with a five-digit number. The accompanying table lists the dbh and species corresponding with the five-digit numbers that are situated next to the tree symbol on the drawing. I have a CSV file that includes the five-digit identifier, the northing/easting for each, the dbh, and the tree species.
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to replace the five-digit identifier with the tree species name (and possibly also dbh) without having to individually do so. It appears that if I use the Find and Replace command, I will have to do each individually, so that doesn't necessarily save much time or effort. I've also toyed with the Import CSV command, but it seems the only option is to replace with a block, not with text. Presumably I'd have to have a block containing the text for each. That also does not seem to save any effort or time.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or tips on this. Thanks!

Roband,
No, I can't see a faster method for taking a DWG where all the trees are already placed as blocks with a number label and replacing the number label with the species name and DBH in a corresponding CSV file.
It's a good example of things we might want to consider when we have the opportunity to maybe make a Plant Remediation Manager (far out plan right now). I wouldn't mind grabbing your files in a ticket to see them as an example to work off of.
