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.
Points Import for IntelliCAD supports the following point file formats:

   X, Y, Z
   Number, X, Y, Z
   X, Y, Z, Description
   Number, X, Y, Z, Description
   Northing, Easting, Elevation
   Number, Northing, Easting, Elevation
   Northing, Easting, Elevation,
   Description
   Number, Northing, Easting,
   Elevation, Description

Points Import for IntelliCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the IntelliCAD environment. Follow the simple instructions in the Getting Started document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded it adds new commands to IntelliCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "PointsImport" to the IntelliCAD menu containing these newly added commands.

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.
