I need coordinate POINTS convert to CIRCLE

[121madhu]

Hi

 

DDPTYPE ofter choosing circle point

ineed point explode is it possible please help me

List also show circle not a point

[Tyke]

It is not possible to explode an AutoCAD point If you try you will get an error message. When you list a point it will always be point never a circle.

 

Exactly how did you create this circle?

i have coordinate points excel file

any way to create circles

[Tyke]

DDPTYPE sets the style and size of the AutoCAD object 'Point'.

 

If you want to insert coordinates (and radius?) of circles from an Excel file then you need a script, LISP routine, VBA macro or some other customisation to read the information from Excel and draw circles in AutoCAD. Have a look on Lee Mac's website for a LISP routine, here's the link: www.lee-mac.com

Here is a little solution from my side,

 

Save your coords in txt format by notepad. And use the below lisp :-

 

e.g. TXT Format

 

(defun C:IC ()
 ;;; Satish Rajdev 09/10/2013
 (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
 (setq	Pdata	 nil
Openfile (getfiled "Select Text File" "*.*" "txt" 4)
Fdir	 (open Openfile "r")
radius	 (getreal "\n Specify Radius :")
 )
 (while (setq Pointinfo (read-line Fdir))
   (setq
     Pdata (cons
      (read
	(strcat	"("
		(vl-string-translate "," " " Pointinfo)
		")"
	)
      )
      Pdata
    )
   )
 )
 (close Fdir)

 (foreach data	pdata
   (command "circle" data radius)
 )

 (setvar "cmdecho" 1)
 (princ)
)

you can do it all in excel if you want just use contcatenate to make a simple column of autocad commands that you just cut from excel and paste to Autocad command line.

 

Column A X

Column B Y

Column C Radius

 

excel code for column D =CONCATENATE("Circle ",A1,",",B1," ",C1) just copy down for rest of column note the "," are required to make a "X,Y" same for spaces " " each bit is also seperated in concatenate by a ,

how to use this and iam directly paste to command line is it correct are any lsp..?

check this

Madhu, The formula you have created is wrong, For more info you can visit this :- http://www.lee-mac.com/scriptwriting.html

 

Here is an example from my side :-

 

 

Create a new column after C for your Z coord, As I have shown above.

And paste below formula in your 1st row of E column

 

=CONCATENATE("Circle ",A1,",",B1,",",C1," ",D1)

 

And

1. Copy that to direct command window, Your circles will get plotted.

OR

2. You can save it as script file (*.scr) using notepad, and then command - SCR to load that load script file....
