@tyler_youngHUJ76 Your "-points" command can be accomplished using .NET. Attached is a zip file containing a small file that can be NETLOADed into C3D 2022-2024. The downloaded zip will likely need to be Unblocked in the file's properties before you extract the dll to a folder of your choice.
The only code in it is below.

@tyler_youngHUJ76 sure thing. I didn't know what, exactly, your makelayer function does, although I should have guessed that no plot part based on the name. Updated zip file attached and will update the source code once this is posted.
As for making edits yourself, you would need to have Visual Studio (or some other IDE, compatible with .NET/c#). If you decide to install one (Visual Studio 2022, Community Edition is free), I'd be happy to provide you with the project files.
**Edit: updated zip file with new file, 3/4/24
@tyler_youngHUJ76 I edited the message with all the crash info.
The issue is that C3D doesn't like like the PointNumberOffset to be set to 0. I moved the set statement into the the section if the dwg contains points and all is well. I will replace the last message with the zip file with the corrected one and update the posted code as well.
