donaldo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I need to extract points from an Autocad Drawing and give them the same point numbers as shown on the drawing. Can anyone help? The drawing is a foundation plan showing pile foundations each with its unique number. I would normally draw a point over each pile and then copy and paste in preparation for uploading to my survey kit but it would be good to keep the same ref point. I suspect it may be a complicated process but any advice welcome. (I'm using a 2008 version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Looks like we can eliminate the use of a lisp routine since you are using the LT version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I am a bit unsure as to exactly what you copy and paste. I suspect that it is the coordinates. You are extremely hampered in using LT. I don't know whether you have any data extraction built in. Whilst I cannot give you hope for the automation of the process, you could draw a polyline between the points, in the order of the point numbers. Then list the polyline, and you can copy and paste more coordinates at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I don't think one can do a data extraction to a table but one could extract attributes to a text file in LT 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 As the OP seems to be in my vicinity, perhaps I should start up a data extraction service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If LT supports Fields in a block then make the attributes the insertion point plus a pt number then like Remark extract attributes to a file, you would manually have to enter number, Else ID copy and paste to say excel create a csv using excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
