totzky Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 1. LIST or 2. ID or 3. Through properties dialogue (ctrl + 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Do you want to just see the x.y.z-coordinates, or add them as a text in your drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Try Field, if they are available in LT Field > Object > Object type (select point) > Position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorba Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Nah, use VBA code to do it in style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Nah, use VBA code to do it in style go ahea, gives an example then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah I'd like to see a VBA applet that runs in LT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorba Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 LT not have VBA then? Always wondered what the big difference was besides some plotting and hatching problems. I have on my USB stick at home, though to be fair that's for blocks, but its just as easy to do it with any entity, it's not that many lines of code, handful really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The big difference between Full ACAD and ACAD LT is that LT does not support VBA, Lisp or any such customization. Before the OP comes back with more info, who knows what will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to come to a dead end with this on LT. yeah, the only solution I have is a Lisp that does this exact thing, but unfortunatly that's not available in LT.

dbroada Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 doesn't LT have field objects then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 No Fields in LT, although you can get them to display... http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=5128 http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=3676 but I don't know of a way to to get the ObjId of a point without full Acad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 If fields work then you could have a dynamic block with a floating base point whose X, Y ans Z populate the field(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi does anyone know how to display the xyz of a point on autcad lt 2008. Tried the ordinate command but only get to display x or y. I am sure this could be done in Diesel but I am not experienced with that language. You might ask in a customization group or in a strictly LT group if someone has already done this, or knows how.

gnanapaul Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I am also trying to get x,y points of selected circles from outside autocad LT 2010. Please help me. If you have VBA sample source code please send me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 As explained before, AutoCAD LT will not run VBA. I am afraid your options are limited to List and ID. Set Osnap to Center, enter ID and pick the first circle. Press Enter or Space to repeat the command and select the next circle.... repeat these steps until the last circle is selected, press F2 and copy the relevant part of the command history. Paste in a word processor and edit until you have only the centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnanapaul Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi... Thanks for your help. i have already tried in your way. Is there any otherway to get whole selected points? Please help me. Its very urgent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
