AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006 DWG Format

[#1]

I know that we can extract coordinates when we have a block in Autocad.

My question is how do we extract those coordinates when we only have nodes or points.
Thank you

Not sure if this is what you are after but ID, enter, pick point.

[#3]

No This is not what I am looking for.
I want to extract my coordinates into an ASCII file or Excell file just like when we do it with a block when we do extract attribute.

Search this forum for more info on extracting coordinates. I recall some discussion a few months back on this and possibly even a lsp routine that worked.

About the best you can do in vanilla autocad is list the points. Then
copy/paste from the text window to a text editor. Then you will have to edit
out the extra data.

Try asking in the customization group or searching the internet. It
shouldn't be too difficult to write a lisp routine to do this.

The following will replace all points on layer work with a block named pnt.

(defun C2B ()
(setq ARQ (getvar "ATTREQ"))
(setvar "ATTREQ" 0)
(setq count 0
SST (ssget "X" '((0 . "POINT")(8 . "WORK")))
)
(while (< count (sslength SST))
(setq ENT (entget (ssname SST count)))
(setq INSP (cdr (assoc 10 ENT)))
(command "-insert" "pnt" insp "" "" "")
(setq count (1+ count))
)
(setvar "ATTREQ" ARQ)
)
!

What if the model is 3Dmodel and i want to extract the data result from the nodes at the middle of the part thickness?

In 3D model, normally there are 6 layers in meshing. However, in the results, it is very difficult to identify which node is at the middle of the layer.

Anyone can help?

Thanks
