Coordinates files must be ASCII (Text) or XLS (Microsoft
Excel) files. They can have any number of data fields (or columns),
each field delimited by a separator that you define (in case
of a TEXT file only. XLS files don't need a separator). Data can
be preceeded by a prefix, and fields can appear in any order.
RapidDXF will extract revelant information from these fields
and will create a DXF file from them.
Fields from which RapidDXF will extract data are :
- Number
or Label of the point : this can be any text string.
- X
(East) Coordinate : this must be a decimal or integer number:
1234.15 or 1235 are valid values.
-
Y (North) Coordinate : this must be a decimal or integer
number: 1234.15 or 1235 are valid values.
-
Z (Elevation) Coordinate : this must be a decimal or integer
number: 1234.15 or 1235 are valid values.
-
Description of the point : this can be any text string.
- Code
for polyline creation : this can be any text string.
Not all fields are required, the minimum are the X and Y coordinates.
The separator can be any character : Space TAB ; , : ! except
the decimal point (.).
Examples of valid formats :
Number
X Y Z with a space as separator :

Coordinates files can have any extension.
In order to create DXF files from your coordinates files, you must
use the appropriate Format. You can use predefined formats or create
your own by using the Format
Editor.
