[ollylandandwater]

i have completed a survey with xyz co ords in excel or csv format, i need to uses auto cad(a full version) to display these points on a drawing with the level attached in text, i have downloaded rapidDXR 4.0 and varios lisp programs, and i still cant get the info displayed, is there a simple way that i'm missing to do this?

i appologise if this has already been answered, but i couldn't find any threads on this forum that helped.

olly,

are you looking for a script?

point
1,3,2.5
2,5,9
...etc

Check PDMODE and PDSIZE

i'm looking for something simple and idiot proof, i have a list of values- point name,x,y,z and want to be able to upload it into autocad, so the position of the point is as x,y and the level z is displayed as the ladel, i've downloaded lisps but i cant get them to work!

Ah, OK,

the points are inside the *.dwg and now you want a text at every point with the values of the x/y/z axis.

Which lisp did you download?

This thread points to a freeware download useful to write an ACAD script file from MS Excel

I've configured the routines in Excel to write a script that will write each point (using PDSIZE and PDMODE), Point ID Text, Point Level Text (each point is coordinated as 3D) and a sequential 3D polyline through the points (to help identify location). Other routines allow blocks to be inserted at a designated location and rotation from Excel.

I used this for about a couple of years now and proved very useful. Good luck...
