Leader export of excel along with text and pline length

[bills]

Hi All

 

I am looking for a lisp routine using which i can export the following data to excel.

1. selected leader handle & coordinates

2. nearest text to leader tail and

3. nearest pline/line length to leaders head 

 

Can any one help me in this.

It gets saved as a CVS.  I save it to "C:\usertemp\leaders.csv".  You should change this to fit your needs, see the top of the code.

 

Command ELC (for Export Leaders to Cvs)

 

All leaders are selected.

Thanks Emmanuel Delay

 

Looking at your dwg file, it seems you had understood my requirement perfectly.

 

But I am unable to use this lsp. It gets loaded but on execution it gives error "Failed" or "Error:Incorrect type - nil"

 

Please help.

[bills]

Thanks Emmanuel Delay

 

Its work fine. Actually initially i missed to change the path.

 

Thanks a lot once again.

Hi Emmanuel Delay

 

Based on your this routine i tried to develop a similar one to export text with its nearest line to csv file.

 

But i didn't succeed since I don't have much knowledge on this.

 

Can you help me out on that as well.

 

Thanks

[BIGAL]

Are you talking about say text near the midpoint of a line and wanting the co-ords of the end points ? This has been posted before maybe not here I know I asked for some details like a dwg so could match the text when looking for a line. Was it you ? Easiest to do as seperate routine as leader code is very different approach.

 

Will see if I can find or if have time will do.

 

Found your other post on April 27 here. Will just do for lines and plines.

Try this, note change name of output file and path.

Thanks Bigal

 

I will use this routine and let you know.
