DRAW OBGECTS FROM COORDINATES

[vagk_18]

Hi Lars.
Thank you for the elevation difference you added in the program.
It's very usefull I think.
But I wanted to ask you about the option "draw objects from coordinates". Is it possible to add "point at point", so that it can draw points
from list of coordinates? The real problem is that I wanted to insert points in different layers according to their code. I don't know how to insert points
with CadTools. And another problem I'm facing is when I take I drawing from someone else and inside there are only 3dpolylines, how to draw points at the
vertices of the 3dpolylines.
I'd appreciate your suggestions.

Hi!

If you use the Type "Circle at point" and set circle radius to zero (0) you will get a point in the DWG.
Set up your points and other data in a Excel sheet and use copy paste between Excel and CadTools. By doing so you can draw on different layers.

To draw points at vertices you first export polylines to excel. Copy coordinates from the Excel sheet into CadTools to draw points at vertex position.

Thank you very much.
My mistake. I didn't notice carefully the box upright telling "if you set radius 0 then you get point".
Anyway, thank you again.
About different layers i meant to copy a list from excel sheet with the format "ID,X,Y,Z,CODE" and create points on different layers.
otherwise you must create the layers first and then insert the points with different codes one by one.

Different layers: If you create yor data list in Excel you can sort in on layername. Copy and paste portions with same layername into CadTools. Type in a new layer or pick one from the list. if the layer doesn't exist it will be created.

Clear the list (right click) and repeate the process

Hi,

U can aslo do it from this.

See my post "Script to create LayerName, Point & Text (3d)" in Civil Corner .
