Any autocad experts?
April 14, 2008, 06:39:21 pm
Anyone on here know how to extract multiple X,Y,Z, coordinates from a 3d Autocad plot as I don't really want to have to resort to doing it one at a time with the properties toolbox, I'm sure it must be possible.
Thanks in advance.

Did you find out? If not, I'm about to try for you.

I downloaded a plugin that did it, you only get 10 cracks at it though before it expects payment. Thankfully I got it right after about 8...I'm sure there must be a free or simple way to do it though.
Don't bother with it now, hopefully I wont need it again!

Will feed back an answer anyway for you. Was going to refer you to a relevant forum that I use and always get quick answers but thought you'd prefer to swerve all the registration bull where possible.

Thanks...what was annoying about the plugin was that it insissted on giving you both end's of the PL's so I ended up with duplicate points and another step of writing a Matlab Script to get rid of them and then reassemble the matrix for mesh plotting.

Sounds tedious to say the least. What was the plugin called out of interest?
