You lost me at "concatenate". I understand pasting in a comma delimited excel file into CAD to place my blocks in known locations. But I don't understand what or where to write a formula within Excel telling it to label the sta#'s?
cdale,
CAD Overlay is Raster Design, they changed the name in between v.2002 and v.2004 I think. Also I believe you can use the "align" command with any version of ACAD it's "rubbersheeting" images that you need Raster Design for. Just another tid-bit-- Raster Design is also handy with...
blutfort,
Actually the columns are easting, northing, station # (I switched the northing/easting on my previous post) But to answer you question YES they are considered X & Y in their appropriate coordinate system. Also I am a beginner with .lsp and no nothing about VBA. Any help would be...
I have a number of Excel spreadsheets with northing and easting coordinates in the first 2 columns. In the 3rd column I have a station # (these spreadsheats are location and names for GPS monuments). Is there away to use the northing and easting to place a point in my drawing and have the point...
You can rubbersheet the photo if you have CAD Overlay using 4 common points between the photo and your drawing. If you don't have Overlay then I would suggest scaling your photo somewhat close to what you drawing scale is and then use the "align" command (choose 3 common pts) to match the photo up.
Lothar,
I have used rtext in the past but I wanted something that would update automatically everytime I plotted. I'm not sure, is there away that I can set up rtext to update everytime the drawing is saved or plotted? Thank ya'll for your input.
That's just it---I type in the command "plotstamp" then within the dialog box I give the text a height, location, etc... then plot my drawing and there is nothing. I'm sure it is something easy but I have tried every option within the dialog box and I can't get it to show up. I've used this...
Is there some trick to using the "plotstamp" function. I've changed all the setting to what I want and I have turned "on" the plot stamp within the print dialog box. I am confused on why I can't get this to work? Does anyone have any imput? Thanks
That works great!!! I had to make sure my northing and easting were in the correct columns and save out my .xls as a .csv to include the comma but besides those few extra steps it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot, that's going to save me a ton of time.
