;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; PTXPORT-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: PXYZ ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Extracts point coordinate data (X/Easting, Y/Northing, Z/Elevation) ;;; plus each point's text caption from selected TEXT entities and ;;; writes it out as rows in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file -- ;;; the reverse of a Total Station import, useful for reporting, ;;; further processing, or reimport into other software. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type PXYZ at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. Select the TEXT entities representing point data, press Enter ;;; to finish. ;;; 4. Choose a destination CSV file in the save dialog. ;;; 5. Each selected text's X, Y, Z insertion-point coordinates and ;;; its caption are written as one CSV row. A small marker point ;;; is placed at each exported text's location on layer ;;; "BGOL-PXYZ" so the exported set can be reviewed visually. ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of point-data CSV export ;;; utilities common in survey/CAD drafting workflows, but the ;;; code, command name and file name here are new and are NOT ;;; copied from, nor identical to, any specific third-party ;;; product. ;;; ;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; Developed and shared for the CAD community by: BGol Community ;;; Community website: https://bgol.in/ ;;; License: Open-source & free to use, modify, and share for all. ;;; Provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. ;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- (vl-load-com) (defun BGOL:PXYZ-EnsureLayer (lname / ) (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" lname)) (entmake (list '(0 .
