Extracting information on Polylines

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I would appreciate assistance with a data extraction question.

We use EATTEXT (aka DATAEXTRACTION) frequently to extract a variety of info from our blocks and block attributes. Recently I have been trying to get some detailed info out of polylines, but EATTEXT seems somewhat limited in this regard. I am trying to create a table (or exported CSV, XLS, not really important) with the following info:

Layer; Start Position X; Y ; End Position X; Y ; Total Length (not segment length)

The name and or numbering of the individual polylines is not important. The polylines are on different elevations, but this info is not required. There are about 1000 polylines to be exported.

I am open to using LISP routines but my knowledge of programming these is limited, but if someone can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

This post was originally on the Civil 3D forum, but was suggested to be moved here.

Many thanks,

Guy Atherton

Hi Guido,

if you do a search in 'Search This Board' for 'polylinnes to excel' or 'polylines to csv' you'll see many post with this subject.

 One of those, Jeff Mishler's getxyz.lsp

Hope this helps,
