I was wrong. The diameter of the BM symbol is 20 not 15. The instructions call for a radius of 10. The information appears on Page 14 of the PDF you were given and specifically the 5th paragraph from the top. My apologies.

DDptype became Ptype to add to the confusion, happy to help.

2 variables come to the front PDMODE and PDSIZE A positive PDSIZE value specifies an absolute size for the point figures. A negative value is interpreted as a percentage of the viewport size.

I think you can disable the Osnap temporarily by adding "_non" to the command statement. (command "._point" "_non" pt1)

It's working now, thank you again for your help, May Allah Bless and protect you from all bad consequences

Guys, apologies for the late reply...had a bit of health issues...anyway mhupp thank you very much for the reply, it worked like a charm...

Looks to be working now. Cant figure out how to merge the first row so its not in the output.

I'm getting an error I think its because my list has list inside that need to be converted to strings. and numbers that need to be converted I'll look at it when i get home tonight. (("ZW705" "519.58" "-339212.096" "-339212.096" "P-1" "P-2;P-3") ("W974" "509.2" "-339165.123" "-339165.123" "P-3" "P-1;P-2;P-4") ("W975" "509.89" "-339188.72" "-339188.72" "P-2" "P-1;P-3")) Still getting an error. cvs files look to be in japan's or something and is only one line.

This came up in another question earlier... copied and pasted the important parts of my answer from there CSV... Comma Seperated Values.. and can be created using notepad... and if we can create one using notepad than AutoCAD can do that too.... From Lee Macs website, http://lee-mac.com/writecsv.html , follow the example at the bottom of the page to run the lisp you can download from the top of the page, in this case using the example above it might give you this (I haven't checked this though) I think replace the first part of below with the second part and add Lee Macs Lisp above to the start of yout LISP file (foreach line master-lst ;write master-lst to cvs ) to be: (if (setq fn (getfiled "Create Output File" "" "csv" 1)) (LM:WriteCSV master-lst fn) ) )

Everything but the write to csv would only be rows 4 - 6 tho not the headers.
