Hi!

At first sorry for bad english.

I have tried Googling solution for this problem but I havent got any
smarter, so i thought maybe somebody in this forum can help me?

I have about 10 000 points and all of them have X, Y, Z coordinates,
unique point number and class-number. I need to plot them all
separately with vectormap on background. Each point needs to be plotted
with title block where target point XYZ, point number and class-number
is displayed.

I would not want that job to be done with clicking each point separately, thats hard work.

Is this following the only way to do this:
1. At first: creating somekind of autotitleblockinsert-script where i
repeat 10 000 times - block insert -command and put those 10 000 points
X-, Y-coordinate values in that script.

2.Second: and those 10 000 title block inserted automatically reads target point x,y, z, class-number values.

3.third: then plotting all those points with titleblocks with
autoplot-script where plotting is repeated 10 000 times where plotting
area is based on limits from each point.

Any help is very much appreciated!

You can do this in AutoCAD or AutoCAD Map. Depending on the input format of your points it would be easy to import it using Map tools or to make a script for multiple insertions.
