Pline Script File Keeps Failing

[Rayan O]

I have multiple sections which I am trying to plot using a script file. I am stuck although the format seems to match what I can find online.

 

This is what the shapes look like when I run the script file

 

weirdly enough. the last 5 sections work just fine.

 

I know the coordinates are correct in all cases since I made a scatter plot in Excel before hand. Also, when I just copy the lines from the script file into the command line. I get the right shape every time. (Possible Clue: the command stays in pline after pasting, look at the command line)

Lines pasted into command line

I moved your thread to the The CUI, Hatches, Linetypes, Scripts & Macros Forum.

Your script is missing the blank line at the bottom, so it needed that for enter at the end.

 

Other than that, I ran it in AutoCAD 2000i on my home computer and they all look like your bottom image.

Have you tried to turn off Object Snaps before you run the script?

 

It looks to me as if your line is snapping to adjacent end of line points instead of plotting the listed coordinates.

Yep! That's the fix.
