How to Open an asc. file?

[NateSlink]

im using AutoCAD 2007 and need to open this file in cad can someone help me?

[CarlB]

Try opening it with a text editor, I believe it is an ASCII file with survey points.

ya it has survey points on it but i need to open it in cad

[CarlB]

If it's not a ".dwg" file you can't open it in cad.
Do you mean you need to create points in your drawing based on the survey data? That's quite a different matter. You'd need to use an add-on program like Civil 3D, LDD, etc, especially if you need to work with the points. if you just need point objects there are a lot of lisp routines that can do this.

You have not told us. Sure we can open it and read it within autocad !

I can not put file becouse is to big. As a zip file , size is 9MB.

Cut a few lines out of it and paste here use word etc which can open big files.

make sure you paste the first few lines often there is a header line first.
