AI Use Case 1

We are working on a project where we were provided a raw csv file direct from the surveyor. Normally we are working with professional surveyors that have Civil3D, and they provide beautiful CAD files. Not the case this time. We no longer maintain a license to Civil3D, but need the data in a CAD file so we can understand what the points are. I looked for some apps, but did not immediately find a simple tool to do this. I decided to try to use AI to create a simple python script. In about an hour or so I had a script that imported 3200points and created a CAD file where each attribute is on its own layer. I thought I would share with others. Dik could easily add this to any number of his SMath sheets to create a CAD file direct from connection calcs.
