Helluu!Is it realy so that there's no easy command in autoCAD/autoCAD tl to make a simple xyz-coordinate txt-file fom a couple of points in a dwg-drawing? Now i use the list-command and copy-paste what I need, but when it comes to more than 10 points this way is so frustrating... /Anders ------------- Command: oops |

You want to export the x/y/z coordinates of multiple points from AutoCAD right? Three options: CadStudio's Xls2Curve (found here at the CADforum). Point manager (found at Lee Mac Programming). Export Point Coordinates (by Tony Hotchkiss, found at the Catalyst magazine web site > Cad Tips). ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Thanx, but those are LISP-based solutions? Since I'm working with AutoCAD LT lisp doesn't work.

Boulderdash! Man, I wish those two little letters (lt) were about a meter tall. Yes, you're correct. Lisp is not an option. Don't you know anyone using full AutoCAD that could extract the coordinates for you? ATTEXT won't work? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

as I recall ATTEXT only works with blocks, and not just points. (I never managed to make ATTEXT work with blocks either, but still..)

Someone help me with this idea here, but wouldn't it be possible to run a startup script (.lsp file) that performs the intended task on a specified target file?
Even though LT can't run LISP routines from within the program couldn't this mouse be trapped this way?
