this question is similar to others posted but different (i hope).
question: i want to add points to a drawing from a text or excel file (this i can do) but i also want to label the points with id data from the text file. i can do this in LDT. but this is for field personnel and they want to do it themselves and do not want to mess with projects, also they are using ACAD 2004 LT.:sad: I'm sure it can be done but i am unsure how to label the spots correctly. any help is appreciated.
thanks!

Hi

Without some Third Party piece of Software that enables ARX, LISP, VBA etc functions / routines to be run in AutoCAD LT, I can only think of maybe creating / writing a Script file that uses...

* The Point information (Text insertion point)
* DText or MText or Text or Attributes etc commands
* Label "spots" by passing relevant information to the AutoCAD command you have chosen to use...

Have a good one, Mike
