Points
Import for IntelliCAD
is a
Point Text file import plug-in for IntelliCAD® powered
applications. This plug-in gives
IntelliCAD powered applications the
ability to import point data from text files.
Point data is
commonly stored in plain text file as a series of x, y and z
coordinates, separated by a comma, space, tab,
semicolon or a custom separator. These text files may also contain other
information about the points such as point number and point
descriptions. Moreover, points from a survey may be stored in the Northing,
Easting, Elevation format. Points Import for IntelliCAD extracts
the point information from text files and creates point entities in the
active drawing.

The Point File Format
A Point file format is basically a text file containing the x, y and z
coordinates of a point on each line. Usually the coordinates are stored
in the XYZ order. However, points are sometimes stored in the YXZ order.
This is common in survey data where the YXZ order is referred to
Northing, Easting and Elevation. Sometimes each point in the point file
has a point number and/or description. An example of a point file with
points stored in the XYZ order and has point numbers and descriptions.
