ReMark Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Are we dealing with plain text or attributes here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBA Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Remark, Thanks for your reply, I just need a text file that has N,E,El. of every point in the drawing for example if I have a line i need the N,E,EI of the two points that line connect with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 One method is to use the DATAEXTRACTION command. So these "points" are just that...points? They are not text objects or blocks with attributes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBA Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 I typed that command but did not get the result that I want, could you tell me how to proceed with this command to get my required result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I thought that AutoCAD 2009 had the Data Extraction wizard. On the Ribbon click on the Annotate tab > Tables panel, Extract Data icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBA Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 no It has but as I go through this command it does not ask me to get N,E,EL it gives me other thing not the things that I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 No, data extraction does not specifically provide you with the information in the form you are used to seeing it in. You never answered this: So these "points" are just that...points? They are not text objects or blocks with attributes? It might help if you post a copy of the actual DWG file so we can see exactly what we are dealing with. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBA Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 The drawing attached has 3D Polylines, I need to extract their N,E,El for every vertex LINES.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You could always use the LIST command then open the text window and do a copy paste. Not the quickest method in the world. Or you can try Lee Mac's Point Manager program. Find it here...http://www.lee-mac.com/ptmanager.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
