Draw a 3d polyline from an excel spreadsheet

[Petros Hellas]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to draw a 3d polyline in civil 3d straight from an excel spreadsheet (csv, space or comma delimited, txt, etc) automatically and whenever the values (x,y,z) of the spreadsheet change, the 3d polyline updates itself accordingly? I have already complete the first part of the 3d polyline and I now have a LISP routine which reads the coordinates from a txt file and constructs the 3d polyline. I would ideally like to connect (real-time) the 3d polyline with this txt file and whenever I change a value in the txt file the 3dpolyline will update itself automatically without any user input.

Can this be done? I don't have to have a txt file if this is a problem. I can have an excel spreadsheet or a csv, etc.

Any help is really appreciated!


Many thanks,

Petros

Any ideas anyone?

I have been to quite a few forums and searched quite a few websites in case I find something to help me with this query of mine. Unfortunately I haven't found anything so far.

Is what I am looking for even possible? Can anyone from AUGI help in any way? I posted this question some time ago now but received no replies at all

Thanks

How'd you sort it? Someone else might have the same question later.
