    Smile Chart Definition Question

    Hello,

    I am an Autocad newbie. I have a file called a "Chart Definition". It comes from another software. Inside it is a set of coordinates like these:

    Code:
     
    #n         east        north    angle      width     height
      1   584292.227  6579265.577   48.356    920.000    450.000
      2   584659.581  6579678.343   54.889    920.000    450.000
      3   585030.636  6580085.329   36.671    920.000    450.000
    These are like "view port" boxes. How do I put/create this in Autocad Map?

    I'm sorry for not being too clear. I do not know what questions to ask. I will gladly reply to all clarifications asked in this thread.

    Best Regards

    What file format is the data in? Can you save it to a standard txt, CVS or Excel format? Are you wanting the "chart" in the dwg or do you need points from the data to be created?

    The data with the "east, north, angle, width, height" is a standard txt file. I want to create a dwg file with the "boxes" / "view ports" based on the coordinates and angles found inside the txt file.

    My situation is that I will need to make a series of charts and each "box" / "view ports" is overlapping each other a few meters.

    Please see attachment for explanation. I hope the image i created is helpful.

    Thanks so much for the reply.

    The Plan & Production tools in Civil3D has something like that, with MAP3D you need to use a custom routine. Might want to post in the Programming forums.
