What kind of data is it exactly? Might it be X, Y and Z coordinates? Or could it be data stored as attributes? We need more detail. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Dear Mr. C, Thanks for your response. The data is of two types i.e. one is point data containing x,y & z coordinates and other is line types data also having x,y, & z coordinates.
With regards

You can do this quite simply with a data extraction. You can extract the date to a table in the drawing, or to an external .xls, .mdb, .csv, or .txt file. Explore the DATAEXTRACTION command.

| To be honest I do not know the exact process.But if you really need that you can try some professional data conversion service.As the data is sensitive you should take a great care to do such thing. |
