Insert text at coordinates from excel

Anonymous — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 15:02:37 GMT

I have an excel file that I have the X,Y,Z coordinates of a pipeline and I need to insert some text also contained in the excel file at these coordinates. Is there any way to insert a leader at the coordinate and use the text in the excel file as the leader text? I have over 1000 of these points to do. Even if i could just insert the text at the coordinates that would be better than having to insert each one individually.

Thanks

Yes, you could, but it would require programming. LISP, VBA or .NET would work. If you don't know either of these languages, you could try asking in the lisp forum and perhaps some generous soul would help you.
