Inserting blocks via coordinates 1

[SeanSweeney]

I have a list of coordinates to which I would like to insert a single block (to about 50 points). Is this possible to animate or do I have to do it manually?


Cheers. Sean.

If you have a list of the coordinates you can change the list into a script file using OpenOffice, Word or Excel. the script file will be a text file with the commands as you might type them, each on a line. Then type "Script" on the command line and tell it what the file name is.
Each line would be similar to:
Insert BlockName X,Y,Z 1 1 0
The file should be pure ASCII (use Notepad or save as DOS text file) ans should have a .scr as the extension. YOu can read the help information in AutoCAD for scripts.
