I have a problem when using ascpoint. I've made an txt-file with x y z coOrdinates and a name of the point all seperated by a comma. This is a list of 480 rows. When I use the ascpoint and I choose insert, then I have to select a block, but then AutoCad asks me to give a name for each block insteed of determining that all by itself from the txt-file. What am I doing wrong?

If this is really a lisp routine you are trying to use and you are running LT not full AutoCAD then it won't work because lisp is not supported in LT.

I already noticed that LT doesn't support LISP but I use a 30-days trial of AutoCad MAP 2014 for the moment, so this shouldn't give any problems, wouldn't it?

Any full version even a trial should run a lisp program.

A possible problem is with format of text file.  if you had an extra space at the end of the line, AutoCAD could interpret that as an enter.  Though I'm not familiar with ascpoint, not sure how it reads the file.I would think file would be x, y, z, and then a description of the point?

thanks for the tip, but i've also checked this and that's not the problem either. Any more suggestions?

Could you post the lisp file you are using? The one available for download at this site appears to use only x, y and z values from a text file, It has no block insert option.

Hi, I've downloaded the file from http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/import-a-xyz-coordinate-file-as-autocad-points-with-labels-tip8496. If this doesn't work, is there another method to import PNEZ from Excel or txt-file in AutoCap MAP2014 so that I have all the points with a pointlabel? Txascpoint.lsp
