TABLE EXTRACTING - how to get vertex x/y of polyline?

[Anonymous]

extracting data to table from polylines , the vertex x/y are not available as part of the properties

maybe ther is another way to get this data

i need polylines x/y and the length to excel

Within the properties panel you can see the x/y value of any vertex of a polyline / line, but you have to 'scroll' through the vertices one by one. 

It is however possible to find the x/y values of any given vertex of a polyline within it's .dxf definition. But you will have to contact the users in the AutoLisp forum for help on how to get those values and how to export them to another file. 

You can find the AutoLisp forum here

Let's see your .dwg (2007 format if you can)

thanks, maybe i need to think about another solution

i'm searching to get lengths of many polylines in my dwg and copy them to excel.

the polylines have same layers (most of them). so i need another identification. if i move them (it's easy), i can sort them by x/y and use the table to copy to excel.

maybe there is another way?

HI,

WHY CAN'T YOU TRY DATA EXTRACTION.

data extraction is the 1st thing i have done.

the problem is that polylines doesn't give the x/y property to choose

please see the attached

there are groups of polylines. my thought was to move them group by group the way every polyline can be identified by the x or y, then to extract and have their lengths 

i also tried to use the thickness property to identify them by the number (nearby every 2 polylines). it takes too much time (to click every one and to copy the length takes less).

this is the reason i'm trying to search automatic identification

thanks in advance

There is also this app in the AutoDesk app store, which looks like it does exactly what you need.
