Output X,Y Coordinates of lines

[CadServo]

How can I output the coordinates of a drawing to a file. Example I draw a rectangle I want the x and y coordinate of the starting point and the end point of each of the 4 lines. I will then access the file using VB and send this information to a 2 axis servo system on a machine.

You're kinda hampered by using LT but you could List the rectangle, cut/paste from the text window into Excel and manipulate the data there.

Can you use the ._DATAEXTRACTION command? Here is a sample of what it can output for you.

 

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to look and see that you are using LT. This command is N/A in LT.

You might be stuck using dxfout and parsing the file.
