joey Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I am trying to import the x-co-ordinate and y co-ordinate of the lines in my CAD drawing. I am currently using AutoCAD LT 2006. I was trying this using ATTEXT command. But for some reason I am not able to extract the data I was after. I do not know if I am follwong the right process. I have used these lines in the template file, I have created. BL:X N006004 BL:Y N006004 I have also included BL:XEXTRUDE N006004 BL:YEXTRUDE N006004 buf for no use. Is there anyone who can help me. Your help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Attext will only extract the data from blocks with attributes, not lines. If you have access to a newer version of full Acad you could use Data Extraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks for your response. Is there a way to convert the lines into blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Oh, I don't think you want to do that. If there aren't too many you could List them, and cut/paste the coordinate data to a text file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 What do you mean by listing. I have like 116 lines in my cad drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 List is an inquiry command. Just type it at the command line. Do you have access to full Acad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ATTEXT is for extracting attribute text info, but I believe also a block insert point. From help, "Extracts attribute data, informational text associated with a block, into a file". If you converted each line too a block you still couldn't extract endpoints. With LT version, only option that comes to mind is to "list" each line, then copy info from command line to a file. OK another, create a block consisting of just a point, insert at each line endpoint, then run ATTEXT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
