How can I get the list of points?

Anonymous — Thu, 24 May 2018 10:51:36 GMT

I have a dwg file in which there are aparanetly some points (see attachment). But when I want to get the coordinates of this points using the following lisp, the answer comes that no object is selected.

(defun c:lixt ( / i s )
    (if (setq s (ssget '((0 . "POINT"))))
        (repeat (setq i (sslength s))
            (princ
                (apply 'strcat
                    (mapcar 'strcat '("\n\tX=\t" "\tY=\t" "\tZ=\t")
                        (mapcar 'rtos (cdr (assoc 10 (entget (ssname s (setq i (1- i)))))))
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    )
    (princ)
)

I appreciate any recommandation.

Hi,

as seen from below image and as i understand that you want to find coordinates ( x,y,z ) for those points ... you can easily get coordinates by EATTEXT command . just be patient and go through 8 / 8 pages data extraction and select proper settings in every dialog to get what you see below .

Hope it's help ... 🙂

In your drawing is only ONE Point.

What you want to get are (I guess) the insertion points of block references.

Yes yo got right. According to AutoCAD definition they are not points. The plus-symbols are in reality points on the field, which has been measured.
