in 2D AutoCAD need to extract X, Y, Z, locations of blocks WITH rotation

Hello all,

I have a need to provide positional data from a pattern of blocks that includes rotation. Rotation still is not an option when using the AutoCAD data extraction tool. I have not yet found a suitable solution after some time Googling and testing. In the images below I have included an example of the data that I need. I guess you could imagine that what I am trying to do is to produce a list to be used with a common set of components being installed by a pick & place machine with the source file being AutoCAD and not, say, Eagle.

I just spent some time manually adding rotation conditions to an Excel file for 306 components, and this is considered one of our small jobs.

Thanks,

Tom

Am I missing something?

LOL! You are missing nothing. Just another example that one should read the entire menu before dismissing it. Thanks, BeekeeCZ.
