export cross section data?

I am trying to export the offset/elevation data from my cross sections to a text file or excel file so i can paste the info into another program. so far i've been labeling the offset/elevation info on the section and typing it into excel by hand. Any suggestions?

I previously wrote a routine that exported out a line of text as a file you could then import it into excel.

There should be here if you search for a way of writing selected multiple text straight to excel the only trick is to get it in the corect order I used a sort routine based on the x,y position of the text (when selecting objects they are returned in database order not whats seen on the screen)

Otherwise how are you making the cross sections ? Our other civil softwrae can export the vaules to a text file can you maybe do this.

I've searched in Civil3D for way to export the data, but so far I've come up empty.

here is a copy of the code to write a column (or row) of text you just need sort on X value for cross section

Do twice or 3 times design existing offset etc
