So for 10,000 points, this value should be repeated for as many times.

In our Excel sheet, X,Y,Z Coordinates of Point 1 are in the cells B2, C2 and D2 respectively.įrom the command history, it is clear that the syntax for creating a point in AutoCAD is POINT X,Y,Z. Here is the flow of the command shown in the image above.Ĭurrent point modes: PDMODE=0 PDSIZE=0.0000 The flow of command for POINT looks like this on the command bar history.

The sequence of commands used to create the point can be replicated approximately 10,000 times to create all the points but obviously, it can’t be done manually and this is where the Excel formula comes into the picture. Values which we used to create this point are shown against the labels Position X, Position Y, Position Z as shown in the image below. Select the Point, Right Click, select Properties from the menu. If you want to verify the coordinates of the point you can do that using the Property Palette. Press the Enter key and an AutoCAD point is created at 1000,1000 with an elevation of 1000, see the animated gif above for reference. Here I will go with the first method i.e feeding the X, Y, Z Coordinates of the Point in the command bar, let it be 1000,1000,1000.

We can convert this data in coordinate points and AutoCAD uses POINT Command to make points in AutoCAD. To create points using this data (to Export this data into an AutoCAD drawing), we have to convert this data into the language that AutoCAD can understand. Importing coordinates using excel formulaĪs shown in this pic below, we have X, Y, Z coordinates, otherwise Easting, Northing & Reduced levels of more than 10000 points in an Excel sheet.
