Lisp for inserting multiple blocks

Lisp for inserting multiple blocks

Lisp for inserting multiple blocks

(OP)
Hi everybody!
I know that for most of you the problem I have is simplier than to take a morning coffe , So hope somebody will help.
Lets Say:
I have a block named POINT
this block has an atributes:
NP-name of point
X-xcoordinate
Y-y coordinate
ASX- something(Number)
ASY- Something (Number)

I have these values in a XLS table or coma delimited file.

Now I am looking for a lisp that will enter in my dwg The block POINT at all points with coordinates X,Y with his Atributes

Thanks in Advice to all of you.

YOU WILL SAVE MY LIVE

RE: Lisp for inserting multiple blocks

ZMEI,
   IF YOU ARE USING 2002 YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY VBA. THERE IS A SERIES OF OUTSTANDING ARTICLES EXPLAINING HOW TO WRITE AN APPLICATION TO DO JUST THAT.
   YOU CAN FIND IT AT THE AUTODESK POINT A WEBSITE. THE LINK IS WWW.POINTA.COM, IF LISP IS WHAT YOU ARE AFTER THEN I THINK THAT CADKID IS THE LISP EXPERT HERE. I ALSO BELIEVE SOMEONE HAD A SIMILAR POST ON THIS SITE A FEW WEEKS AGO.
   HOPE THIS GETS YOU GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION I DONT USE LISP MUCH AS I USE THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE TO IMPORT COORDINATE VALUES INTO MY AUTOCAD DRAWINGS.

Zmei,
I have written a lisp to do this, you could email me at cab@eeiteam.com and I'll email it to you.  It took longer than a morning coffee to write it though :)
