Extract X and Y coordinates on a drawing?

Recommended Posts

Hi I am new here and not sure if there is an existing thread but any help would be appreciated. I have to tabulate the X and Y co-ordinates along a polyline at 1 metre intervals. I have divided the polyline into segments of one metre and have tried to use a command called data extraction. So I use this command and individually click on each point. The end result gives me the X and Y coordinates in the order I have picked them however when I put it into a table on the drawing it messes up the order? Can anyone help me please? Need to finish this drawing by tomorrow!

Well then you can use the Measure command to place the block at 1m intervals on the polyline. Then Data Extract could quite easily extract their insertion points to a table / excel file.

 

The attributes are only needed if you want some extra text per item of those blocks.

Search here for CHAINAGE theres a number of chainage lable programs these could be easily changed to write a csv or a table as they have to calculate the x,y co-ords along a pline to do the labelling.
