The intent of this app is to provide an easy way to create coordinate tables in your AutoCAD sheet files. By using the ID or the LIST command, you can quickly produce a series of coordinates in the AutoCAD command line window (F2). Copy the results into the text area input box, select your format, and click the submit button. Copy and paste the output text into AutoCAD MTEXT. Size appropriately, and explode if desired. Note that "Two columns" is the only form of output that allows you to select each column separately, which is often useful for putting the output into a table.

Note: it is up to you to keep track of the order of the points (I usually pre-label them in model space).


I prefer to create a polyline along all of the points I want to label, then use the LIST command to get a listing of all of the points. In this case, text will be the following format:

at point X= -1.0188 Y= 53.2685 Z= 0.0000 at point X= 26.5579 Y= 61.9226 Z= 0.0000 at point X= 42.6977 Y= 36.6014 Z= 0.0000 at point X= 63.7543 Y= 46.8581 Z= 0.0000 at point X= 77.0082 Y= 56.0464 Z= 0.0000 It is also possible to use the ID command, in which case text will be the following format: Command: id ID Specify point: X = 15500.82 Y = 15197.36 Z = -9999.70 Command: ID Specify point: X = 15485.51 Y = 15201.00 Z = -9999.70 Command: Specify point: cen of X = 15507.47 Y = 15166.97 Z = 0.00 I expect most people will be using one of the two formats above, but other formats are possible. Essentially, the format must include "X = xxxxxxxx" and "Y = xxxxxxxx" (with optional decimal points and spaces), in that order, with each set of coordinates occuring on a different line. Everything except for X and Y values will be discarded.
