Hi, I have AutoCad LT 2020 version. I have have just bought LT extension and installed it in my system. I want to extract coordinates of the objects from one of my layer. Is there any way by which I can extract coordinates using LT extension? Thank you, Sumana ------------- Sumana Basu Geophysicist Brimstone Site Investigation |

Yes, you can use the function "Report coordinates" in the Tools/Utilities section.

Hi Vladimir, Thank you for the prompt reply. Could you please let me know which button is report coordinates? I can find 'report lengths' but there is no 'report coordinate' in the LT extension menu bar. Thank you, Sumana ------------- Sumana Basu Geophysicist Brimstone Site Investigation |

I don't know if you are using the toolbar or ribbon menu but this is the proper ribbon button: the objects must be either POINT, SHAPE, INSERT, or PLINE

Hi Vladimir, Thank you  . Got it.But I am still facing problem. The coordinates being extracted are all zero. Thank you, Sumana ------------- Sumana Basu Geophysicist Brimstone Site Investigation |

What type of objects are you selecting? Is the drawing metric or imperial? ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |

That is strange. I have retested it now in LT 2020, with block references (INSERTs) and it exports their ref.points coordinates properly. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |

Objects are circles drawn in a layer. I need to extract the coordinate at the centre point of each circles. ------------- Sumana Basu Geophysicist Brimstone Site Investigation |

I have attached one of the dwg file from which I was trying to extract corordinate. uploads/839112/20200306_Earlsfield.dwg" rel="nofollow - uploads/839112/20200306_Earlsfield.dwg Please have a look. Thank you, Sumana ------------- Sumana Basu Geophysicist Brimstone Site Investigation |

I can see it. But it not that the "extracted coordinates are all zero" but rather "the number of extracted coordinates is zero" - as the objects are Circles. The only supported object types are POINT, SHAPE, INSERT, or PLINE. There is no easy fix I can think of. Maybe use the CEN osnap, start the POINT command and pick center points of all the circles. Then repeat the extraction. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |
