Hi!
I used excel to form script;
CONCATENATE(point;" ";X;",";Y;",";Z;" ";chprop;" ";p;" ";" ";color;" ";t;" ";R;",";G;",";B)
And in scr file it looked like this
point X,Y,Z chprop p  color t R,G,B
 
And that's it Big%20smile

Hello!
Thank you very much for replaying so fast. I don't know how to use lisps so I tried to form a script file and I did it and my points got their color Smile
Thank you again.]]> Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:57:56 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5183&PID=12845&title=point-colour-import#12845 <![CDATA[point colour import : You&#039;d have to use a script...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5183&PID=12842&title=point-colour-import#12842 Author: CarlB

You'd have to use a script or some code (lisp, etc.)
 
For example a lisp routine could read the file, one line at a time. the first 3 items in a line would be combined to for a 3d point. The next 3 values combined to form "r,g,b".
The coordinate would be fed to a "point" command.then "change" or "chprop" command, "color" then the RGB value.
Repeat for each line in the text file.
 
Script would be tedious. You might first manipulate in Excel to combine the values.
 
A script file would look like;
point
x1,y1,z1
change
l
p
c
r1,g1,b1
 
point
x2,y2,z2
etc...on and on for all points

Hello everybody!
I need helpStar
Is there a way to import colour along with point coordinates? For example, I have points defined in .txt format in three columns, after which I have three columns that contain RGB colour components:
 
              X                  Y                    Z                  R                   G                   B
           100                200               300                51                 153                204
 
So I would like to import this point in this colour into AutoCAD.
Is there a way to do that?
