X-Y chart in AutoCad R14

X-Y chart in AutoCad R14

(OP)
Is there any way to automatically put hole locations in an X-Y chart. Right now I have to set my 0,0 then list the hole, then enter the X-Y values manually. This could lead to wrong numbers

RE: X-Y chart in AutoCad R14

Yes it is possible.
It can be done by LISP or by Script.

Script is simple , just type in yuour notepad the sam way you type on your keyboard.

circle
0,0
50
circle
200,200
50

save it as drawingcircles.scr

at ACAD command line type SCRIPT , open your drawingcircles.scr

Hope it help

RE: X-Y chart in AutoCad R14

If you have a copy of R13, if they are even around, it automatically has a hole chart feature.  We used to use it in motorhome production just for that.  When we upgraded, like everyone as soon as possible we kept 13 and used the hole chart for frame rail holes and just cut and pasted it into our current rev.  I think there might be already done lisp at some of the cad sites, like cadlyst.com
