Hi Guys.
Really stuck here and would appreciate some help. I'm currently using AutoCAD 2005 an have an inquiry that you may be able to help.

I have a series of blocks made up of polylines. These polylines represent roads and streets. The most basic of the blocks is a straight polyline with a specific start and end point.

Ultimately I would like to be able to extract the XY co-ordinates for the start and end points into a spreadsheet. I came across a tool called "attribute extraction" which seemed perfect for my needs however as you may know that tool only extracts block information, displaying a blocks XY insertion co-ordinates. I realise that I could simply "LIST" the polyline in question and this would provide me with all the necessary details however the final drawing will contain thousands of polyline/blocks.

I'd appreciate any and all information more experienced CAD users could require.
Thanks
