Export the XY coordinates from all polylines

Hi all,

I found this LISP routine by Tony Hotchkiss from here.

If I understood this correct, it works with LWPolyline, Polyline and Point. For some reason it does not work will all polylines on my drawing. The sample drawing is provided below and attached with this thread

I am new in AutoLISP so I would appreciate if you could suggest me how this code can be modified to export all the coordinates of polylines for my sample drawing. Or maybe my drawing can be modified using another LISP routine.

In addition, I want the program to output two files. The first file would be the XY coordinates of all points of the polylines with number (kind of identification).

For example,

Node X Y

1 359.663 162.816

2 358.596 163.075

3 358.481 163.08

4 358.379 163.045

5 358.305 162.987

6 358.234 162.857

7 355.779 153.074

8 355.753 152.623

9 355.753 152.247

10 355.804 151.921

The second file would include the points and distances between them.

For example,

Node_start Node_End Distance

1 2 1.097984517

2 3 0.115108644

3 4 0.107837841

4 5 0.094021274

5 6 0.148124947

6 7 10.08633303

7 8 0.451748824

8 9 0.376

9 10 0.32996515

10 11 0.246221445

Thank you

Best wishes,

Can you post your drawing here? I can't access cloud sights from work.

Thank you for your response. The drawing has been attached.

Did you ask for this before or maybe at one of the other forums, theswamp, Augi, pretty sure seen this request previously. An answer was provided.

One issue is that drawing contains 139 lines in it and the code does not account for them.
