How to get coordinates to all points in full list?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've been using the "LIST" command to get coordinates of a point. I need to copy the coordinates of about 400 points to Microsoft Excel file. 

The "LIST" command would show me about 4 points at a time, after which i have to press "ENTER" to get the next ones etc. 

How could I get the coordinates to all those points to a text file all at once? or is there a command that would show a list of all the points and not just 4 at a time?

Thank you in advance!

1.  The STOP

    Set QAFLAGS to include bit 2

    Standard is 0 and i prefer standard settings, but in this case it isn't a problem to use QAFLAGS alway with value 2

2. The whole TextScr list is limited to 400 lines per default,

   but it is possible to set the limit to 2048

3. Also you can also use the LOGFILE (logfilepath logfileno logfileoff)

Hi,

There is no limit for the number of objects the you can select with LIST command. What you are seeing is the command history is extended to show up only values of four points selected.

Try this. Type in LIST and then select the object and press enter, now press F2 key which would open up the command history which would list the values of the points selected.

I have followed your steps:

I typed: LIST, I selected 150 objects, pressed F2 and the command history only show 4 points at a time. I have to click enter 38 times to get all the points to keep populating my history command...

Any other suggestions?

Regards,

Enrique

As CADffm mentioned above you need to set 'qaflags=2' that gives you the list in one long run. But the command history is limited so you need to turn 'logfile0n' to keep a permanent record of all the command history and choose a file location using 'logfilepath' so you know where these files are stored. It will be a file with a .log extension but you can open it in a text editor like notepad it is just a text file.

Thank you so much, I can see more than 4 coordinates at a time.

And don't ignore also not the other hints ftom steven and me

Additional to my 2.)

That's the Registry item you need to set for 2048 lines

Sample for LT2020, German language:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT\R26\ACADLT-3001:407\Profiles\<<Unbenanntes Profil>>\General\

New REG-DWORD 32 -> CmdHistLines
Value decimal 2048

But also 2048 is a limit, yo it is better to use the extrenal logfile

(logfilepath logfile on logfileoff logfilename)

You customize so mauch, up to start the process from Excel to create automatically an excelshet with the whole content you need.

The use of VBA on the Excel side is required.

Rock on!
