wannabe Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 To get the the coordinates of a flat polyline (with many arc, curves etc; for use on civil and geotechnical type drawings) I currently have to use the measure command to insert a block and then extract the attributes into a table. However, using the measure or divide to split my line up into the required segment size, is there anyway to extract the coordinats at the endpoint of each segment? This will need to be imported into excel. Quote
ReMark Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Do yourself a favor and head on over to CADalyst Magazine and check out CAD Tips (membership is free). A search of their Lisp archives on the phrase "extract coordinates" should pull up a reference to a program that will extract point coordinates. It is tip #ALSP1202 written by Tony Hotchkiss and dated 01-Dec-2002. It is called PLIST.LSP and here is how it is described: "Plist.lsp uses ActiveX to extract x,y,z coordinates from points and polylines and list them in a comma-delimited text file you can open in Excel." I trust this could be of some beneficial use to you? Quote
