Chart Definition Question

[bertotin]

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:



#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 (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=88).
