Extracting XYZ coordinates from survey information

jennifermacleay1 — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 13:19:19 GMT

Hello,

I asked yesterday regarding extracting the XYZ info and someone had done this for me which was appreciated!

Although, I don't think all levels spots were accounted for?

Could someone extract this information for me? Much appreciated!

It was me.

I exported points once again. There are 4931 points in your drawing. Is this correct?

Look at the file in the attachment.

Ah, apologies. I think the issue is on my end - I need to format the text so it's not in columns and rows. Do you know a fast way of doing this?

So it reads as below for example - [tab] is where a tab space needs to be entered.

360000.00[tab]360000.00[tab]360000.00
360000.00[tab]360000.00[tab]360000.00
360000.00[tab]360000.00[tab]360000.00

Thank you for your help!

....

If you need TAB as separator instead of comma, you can use attached LISP (PTEXPORT command after you APPLOAD it).

I also attached the result.

Maxim - thank you so much for your help.

Could I ask you to extract the XYZ from the attached file? [I've removed the levels text shown in the previous DWG as they have xyz coordinates set to them which need omitting to allow only the spot levels to be extracted].

Sorry for all the back and forth and thank you again!
