How to export coord data using Getpoint function

[eldon]

does anyone know how to change the lisp routine to change the coordinates

from millimetes to meters

 

I get the coordinates in metres as it stands.

 

If your drawing uses millimetre coordinates and you want to output metre coordinates, then you will have to divide by 1000. If you can't manage to do that yourself in lisp. then scale your drawing by 0.001, and you will get the output in metres.

 

Adapt your working to what is available

Thanks for the reply

 

My knowledge in Autocad is limited, I'm using it mainly to export

xyz coordinates to a total station for stake out purposes.

 

The cad file is set in millimeters, is it possible to make the conversion

to meters from within the lisp routine, and then write the points

to the output file and also display the coordinates.

 

Thank-you

Of course it is possible to do as you ask, but you may have to do it yourself. It may take you some time to learn.

 

In the mean time, the output file is a csv file, so you could do all the calculations in a spreadsheet.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I'll give it a try.

Hello

This is what I am after. I can get it to run on a localized drawing, but the text (multileader) comes out massive compared to the drawing. Any idea what I can do to make it smaller?

 

With this lisp I can put the co-ords on the drawing to bring out on site, which will be quicker and more accurate than working them out with a calculator.

Hello

 

This is what I am after. I can run it on my drawing however the text comes out massive. How can I make it smaller to suit the dwg?

 

I want to print the dwg with the local points on it to take out on site.

 

Thankyou
