Importing COGO points?

[Anonymous]

Good evening, I'm writing to find out if someone can give me an idea how to get Land Desktop to read cogo points from a drw file. Thanks for your assistance. ervin

Hi Ervin, What is a drw file ? How are cogo points documented in this file ? -- Laurie Comerford CADApps www.cadapps.com.au "Ervin Battle" wrote in message news:4134e765_3@newsprd01... > Good evening, > I'm writing to find out if someone can give me an idea how to get > Land Desktop to read cogo points from a drw file.

Are you sure it's a .drw file? That file type is typically created by Pro Engineer (ProE), a Mechanical product... Unless I'm mistaken ProE can write an AutoCAD r14 or 2000 .dwg file - might give you half a chance of creating point data...the resultant points can be converted to Land Desktop point objects - if ProE IS the program used to create your file. FYI: I've seen ProE used to digitize as-builts of mechanical pieces and parts - bring the point spread into Land Desktop and use the COGO routines to "Best Fit" lines and curves and clean up the data - but it's not the prettiest of processes...right tool for the right job.

> get > Land Desktop to read cogo points from a drw [dwg] file. what do you mean by 'read'? Do you mean list, properties, or do you want to export the points to a file? what type of entities are in the drawing? AutoCAD points, Civil Points Objects, or Softdesk Point Blocks? If they are civil point objects, then are they in your project database? What version are you using? Russell

LOL Well hey, if you ever need to work with a ProE drawing, you'll have a head-start! ;) sm -- scott mceachron total cad systems - dallas "Ervin Battle" wrote in message news:4135d423$1_3@newsprd01... > Wow...i guess you can tell it was the end of the day hahaha. what i > meant was a dwg file.

Thanks for the response.We're using LDD 3 and are trying to export the point information from the dwg to the project point database. They are LDD point objects.

Hi, [Points][Check Points][Modify Project] You can see the importance of asking clear questions. Several people wanted to help you but couldn't because they didn't know what you wanted. -- Laurie Comerford CADApps www.cadapps.com.au "Ervin Battle" wrote in message news:4136275f_1@newsprd01... > Thanks for the response.We're using LDD 3 and are trying to > export the point information from the dwg to the project point > database.
