Routine to convert blocks (with elevation) into LDT points

[Kavin]

I am searching a lisp routine which can convert blocks (with elevation) into LDD points, any help? Thanks in advance

What kind of blocks? Block with attribute that holds the elevation? Just a block of something inserted at the elevation? What version LDD?

Try ATTEXT or EATTEXT to get your points in a file you can import into LDD. You'll have to create a template file matching the information in the blocks you want converted to the point format you're using in LDD. Then freeze the old point block layers.

Miff,
LDD 2004, the blocks are “standard” blocks inserted at an elevation (no attributes).

Tom,
“EATTEXT” seems to be working for me, thanks…

I have created a routine that creates points in the same location that the insertion point of a block! (elevation included)

It won't do a direct conversion, but will create an PNEZD ASCII file which you can import.

Thanks you have all been very helpful.
