XY View Import

XY View Import

XY View Import

(OP)
I have a file of view names and x,y coordinates. I was wondering if there was a way to import these in to a Autocad Drawing file with out having to key each view.

RE: XY View Import

Sure.
VBA macros can do anything.
A commandname, a sample line of the txt file that has the view name, x, y (is it txt? or another dwg file?) might tempt one of us to write the code.

RE: XY View Import

(OP)
It's a text file. We use it in our Arc/Info software. It's used to zoom in to different locations.
Ex: 94B101,567890,234561,334561,456678
I can change the format around to anything.
