ali1234 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Are the coordinates in a .csv file? Thanks for your answer. No, the coordinates are in a .txt file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Wether it be CSV or a delimted file 100,200,300 or 100 200 300 or +100 -200 +300 etc There is lots of lisps to import into Autocad if its csv you only need to add LINE as the first bit of text and you can copy and paste all of it directly to command line. The best answer is post your txt file and also a DWG showing the end result.

BIGAL Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Took me about 10 seconds to import, opened in Notepad copied the big space which is a tab then used Replace pasting the copied blank tab and then replace with comma , replace all Added LINE as first line then Ctrl A, CrtlC go to Autocad command line and paste Ctrl V all done. LINE 90,0,0 89.96049,0.00954,0 89.84214,0.03816,0 89.64513,0.08577,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't understood parts of your statement as follows: used Replace pasting the copied blank tabcopied the big space which is a tab replace with comma What is your exact meaning of "blank tab" and "Replace pasting" and "big space which is a tab"? How to replace with comma? Thanks for allocating your time. I am grateful that guide me more. Best. Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKT Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 What Al is saying is to use Notepad to edit the numbers by using EDIT -> REPLACE and replace ALL: Replace the 4 spaces between the numbers with a comma: "90 0 0" will become "90,0,0" Hope this helps you.

Beerforfree Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 ACADMAP 2010 can import csv coordinates in many different formats The only trouble I've seen that's adding lot of decimals to the elevation attribute and I don't know how to fix this Does some one has nay clue? E.g Ac1,6377956.337,6138545.256,30.992, is imported as a block with 2 attributes point name and elevation with a value like 30.9911993445666 I'm using arbitrary xy coordinates z in meters I'd like to know is there is any way to limit decimal places to this attribute and why is changing the original value I'll give a look to the block that acadmap is using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
