bjump Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Hello All! I have been asked to be able to use a cad file to generate some patterns for an XY stage. Is it possible to parse a cad file to basically get a list of point to point lines? Thanks in advance! -Brian Quote
fuccaro Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Welcome in the forum! It is not hard at all to extract coords from a file... using a Lisp routine. Unfortunately your AutoCAD is LT -no automatisations You can maybe see the properties of those lines and copy-paste the coords to an Excel file... very time consuming I would say... Quote

Fuccaro, Thanks for the speedy reply. I will actually be using a full version of autocad when I attempt this. I'm not really sure which version though. Can you direct me in the right direction on how to do this with a Lisp routine? Quote
bjump Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 It turns out that I misunderstood my co-worker. He is looking for a way to parse the DWG file and then convert it into an XLS file. Is there anyway to do this? Quote
