Hi all... Im trying to come up with a lisp that will export x and y coords to a txt or cvs file. However, I need the lisp to export in this format
Units Inch
WPT 1 0 0 ( X=0 Y=0)
WPT 2 1 1 (X=1 Y=1)
WPT 3 2 2
I need to be able to set my zero with move origin and the export the points.
This is for a post for a CNC Hole Popper

Sorry about that -- the (trans) should be applied to the point before extracing coordinates, not to the extracted coordinates. Change this:
(trans (rtos (car x) 2 4) 0 1) "\t" ; X coordinate <--- edit precision
(trans (rtos (cadr x) 2 4) 0 1); Y coordinate <--- edit precision
to this:
(rtos (car (trans x 0 1)) 2 4) "\t" ; X coordinate
(rtos (cadr (trans x 0 1)) 2 4); Y coordinate
(defun C:drill20 (/ ptfile inc ptlist);
(setq
ptfile (open "C:/TEMP/PTFILE.TXT" "w"); <---- edit file path & name
inc 0
ptlist
(mapcar
'(lambda (x) (cdr (assoc 10 (entget x)))); Point locations
(mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex (ssget "_X" '((0 . "POINT"))))); all Point entities in drawing
); mapcar & ptlist
); setq
(write-line "Units\tInch" ptfile)
(foreach x ptlist
(write-line
(strcat
"WPT\t"
(itoa (setq inc (1+ inc))) "\t"
(rtos (car (trans x 0 1)) 2 4) "\t" ; X coordinate
(rtos (cadr (trans x 0 1)) 2 4); Y coordinate
); strcat
ptfile
)
(princ))
(close ptfile)
); end defun
That works.. do i have my PRINC in the right place and format???? it still gives the nil

The (princ) should be the last thing before the final closing right parenthesis.
It also occurred to me that it could be streamlined just slightly by translating each point's location from World to Current CS only once, instead of separately for each of the X & Y coordinates. Try this:
(defun C:drill20 (/ ptfile inc ptlist);
(setq
ptfile (open "C:/TEMP/PTFILE.TXT" "w")
inc 0
ptlist
(mapcar
'(lambda (x) (trans (cdr (assoc 10 (entget x))) 0 1)); locations translated to current CS
(mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex (ssget "_X" '((0 . "POINT"))))); all Point entities in drawing
); end mapcar & ptlist
); end setq
(write-line "Units\tInch" ptfile)
(foreach x ptlist
(write-line
(strcat
"WPT\t" ; WPT + tab
(itoa (setq inc (1+ inc))) "\t" ; sequence number + tab
(rtos (car x) 2 4) "\t" ; X coordinate + tab
(rtos (cadr x) 2 4); Y coordinate
); end strcat
ptfile
); end write-line
); end foreach
(close ptfile)
(princ)
); end defun

You're welcome. I also learned something I didn't know from this exercise: it probably wouldn't even have occurred to me to wonder before whether the code for a Tab character in a text string in a .DWG file would translate correctly into a Tab in a .TXT file. So I had to try it out, and now I know that it does [though whether I'll ever have further use for that information is another question...].
Hello Kent1Cooper,
What do i want to ask ... can you change the code in this way, without numbering WPT 1,2,3...
MYTEXT A, 1.00, 2.00, MYTEXT Z ( where X =1.00 and Y=2.00, are coordinates of selected point)
MYTEXT NEW, 4.00, 5.00, MYTEXT OLD
MYTEXT RED, 6.00, 8.00, MYTEXT GREEN
MYTEXT GOOD, 10.00, 12.00, MYTEXT BAD
I HAVE TO SELECT MANUAL ONLY FOUR POINTS.....BUT MUST ADD MY VALUES (in the selected order of points) BEFORE AND AFTER THE COORDINATE OF THE SELECTED POINT.
Thank you in advance for the time spent on this problem that has been giving me headaches for some time.
