kevin_900922 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Greeting to all, I am facing a problem in autocad. The attachment is a pipeline route profile(graph). I am facing the problem to plot the graph. Can anyone help or suggest or advice me on this matter? Thanks for helping anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I think you need to provide more information on your issue. Is that an AutoCAD drawing? Are you trying to plot the sketch from AutoCAD? Can you detail those problems are you facing? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_900922 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is a autocad drawing. Is a civil pipeline profile. I am trying to plot it in autocad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 OK. Now you should detail the plotting issues / errors you are encountering. From the attached image is not possible for one to understand what is missing / wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_900922 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 I have a set of data for both x-axis and y-axis. My main concern is that, form the set of data how can i generate the graph as above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 So, your goal is to draw the graph in AutoCAD, not to plot it from AutoCAD? Which is the media you have those coordinates? I mean, Excel or a text file or are just printed on paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_900922 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yes. i have the value of x-axis and y-axis. Just that i do not have the idea how to draw the graph. The value can be key in to excel file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I would suggest using this excellent program by LeeMac: http://lee-mac.com/ptmanager.html - it seems to be what you are after. How to use a Lisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Since seems that you can get those values in Excel format, then I suggest you to create a script (plain text file with SCR extension) that can be loaded using SCRIPT command. Below you have an example: _PLINE 123.45, 543.21 234.56, 654.32 345.67, 765.34 Excel will also let you scale (shrinking) the graph on X for readability; presuming that X coordinates are listed in column A, respectively Y in column B: =CONCATENATE(A1/100,", ",B1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Have a look at this also but use Msasu for vertical exageration http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?759-Can-I-plot-data-from-EXCEL-in-AutoCAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
