Thanks to an early post in AUGI, I am attempting to use a script file created from Excel data. The problem that I have is how to enter data to go into an attribute. I can output a line of text as follows: "-insert MarkerNameNorthEastDepth_Small 515978.9,6036545.8 15,6036545.8,515978.9,-3.8" With a comma delimited file I can search and replace comma's globally by placing something unique in the original file such as z, The script as I have it here will insert the block at the 3 point coordinate that has the , between them just like AutoCAD likes. Then I have 4 spaces for the X,Y and rotate prompts. After that is the values for the attributes in the line which are 15,6036545.8,515978.9,-3.8 I have replaced the comma with a semicolon ; and I have used a plain space to try and get the carriage return the script needs. I tried placing each one in quote marks and a space between quotes. NO luck. I have turned attdia on and off but nothing works. Does anybody know how to make a script file text string work as data for block attributes. I have attached a small testing script file and the block I am using if anyone wants to tackle this. Changed the file extension on script from .scr to .txt so system didn't think it was a virus. ALL help is highly appreciated. If we can whip this I will post again a couple of the tricks I was able to due with the XLS sheet to get to this point. Thanks a bunch, Jack Foster.
