Point, coordinate, layer in Autocad

[topogeocad]

Hi all,

Is it possible to import a TXT file in AutoCad with the following header:

<PntId> <Noth> <East> <Height> <Code>

in such a way that it draws a point at the specified location and assigns this point to a layer <Code>

Or a script could solve the problem?
Any hint how to do it? or could you point me out to some explanations?

Thank you in advance.

sure. use Lisp or VBA to open and parse the file. Or, create the text file so that it says layer set code point x,y,z and add the extension scr to the file then invoke it using the script command.

layer set code
point x,y,z
layer set code
point x,y,z
etc
