Importing points

[Fred Biacsi]

How can I import points into Autocad from a text file?

[David Bethel]

Fred,

The text file needs to be in true ASCII delimited format. Comma Separated
Values ( CSV ) work fine, but whatever the format, it is absolutely
imperative that it be consistent.

If the file 'point.dat' uses a comma as the deliminator & contains:

1,2,3
3,4,5
7,8,9
(eof)

And you are using a command function, then in lisp it could look like:

(command "_.LINE")
(setq rf (open "point.dat" "r"))
(while (setq nl (read-line rf))
(command nl))
(command "")
(close rf)

There are tons of other things that can be done. -David
