If I use a csv file and scale my drawing it works thanks for the help.

I'm very new to the autocad and have lots to learn so these little things I can pick up help out alot.

Excellent - glad it works for you mate

Code in first post updated to Version 1.6, this now enables Block as Input Type

[Lee Mac]

I have invested a little time in this program and updated the code in the first post to Version 1.7.

 

This version sees a hell of a lot of upgrades to the program, as shown in the program header.

 

The user can now sort Points, change point format, choose an arbitrary data delimiter, among many other exciting updates...

 

As always, your feedback is treasured

Ah Ha, a man after our "Y, X, Z" hearts !!!! Thanks a bunch from us who always use and need it this way !!

Well, I'd had so many requests lately for changing programs to work with that format, I thought it'd be beneficial to include it

[keithlaser]

That looks awsome:Dcan't wait to try it this thing helps me so much down loading it now!

[Lee Mac]

Thanks Keith -

 

I though you might like the Point Format option

Lee,

Would it be possible to populate a block attribute from an additional column in the dataset upon insertion?

And/or could a block's dynamic features (i.e. linear dimension) be set from another column?

(somethiong like: X, Y, Z, Tree#, Circle Radius)

[Lee Mac]

I'm not sure about Dynamic Blocks, as I have never used them, but certainly for normal blocks, the file format should be:

 

[x-coord] [y-coord] [z-coord] [attrib1] [attrib2] [attrib3] ... [attribn]

 

And make sure that you have the toggle set correctly.

Ahh, I didn't see that check box...

 

Thanks

 

Question - if I had a file containing just attribute data (and possibly dynamic feature values if we can figure out how to direct them to the block...), could this be tweaked to prompt for the point selection on screen?

Hmm... I had really engineered this program to cope with point input (hence the name ) and the attribs were just a "bonus"... I think it would be a difficult thing to incorporate to be honest.

Fair enough.

Thanks for giving it the thought

[Lee Mac]

If you haven't stumbled across it already

[Lee Mac]

I have updated the first post to Version 1.9, this version incorporates a few things:

 

• Fixed bugs that occurred when using Block as Input Type.

• Modified Delimiter functions to allow delimiters of length > 1.

• Added Help Button.

Enjoy!

High lee this new update is awsome:) I just have one little problem and i'm sure its me, I have a drawing with blocks that are points with two attributes if I export them as a block to csv it works perfect. I change the numbers in D colume on excel I save as comma separated now I'm ready to put them back in the drawing,but I can't import them from csv back into the same drawing. I tried importing as point and block, but I can't seem to get the attributes just the points show up.

 

MEP2009 no express tools

[Lee Mac]

Silly question, but I assume the toggle is set correctly to enter block attributes?

[BearDyugin]

Lee, thanks for the program, super, but are one small but...

I'm land surveyor, and we have a file format: №, X, Y, Z, COD,

1,198.878,-421.644,-4.706,grassland

2,228.468,-386.994,-4.679,grassland

3,222.081,-372.919,-4.725,grassland

4,179.386,-320.295,-3.608,tree

T6,154.063,-294.000,-4.167,tree

T7,127.937,-256.415,-5.255,road

T8,73.127,4.542,-4.736,road

aa,70.420,34.070,-3.875,tree

bb,55.941,60.839,-0.712,bush

though for import, though for export. And here the dynamic block(file 2010) which contains three attributes №, Н (Z), COD (description)

If it will be possible, I will be infinitely grateful

Thanks GeoBuilder,

 

I thought this may happen, but it is difficult to cater for the multitude of standards that each drawing office may have.

 

I believe what you want to import/export can be achieved, but it would mean a major re-coding of the program.

Yes I did toggle it right but I must not be doing somthing right with the block or something.

What is the best way to get point data with attributes into a drawing I guess I'm not doing the right steps.

 

If my output type is set as point I will just get the points no attributes correct?

 

If the output type is block I need to pick a block I made from the points and insert the data, that is where I can't get the attributes to show up on the drawing.

 

Does this sound right or am i doing this wrong?

 

thanks:)
