COORDTABLE — Coordinate table

Creates a table with the number, X, Y, Z and code of the selected points or vertices.

Command: COORDTABLE · Global name: _COORDTABLE
Ribbon: Topography › Terrain data

Creates a coordinate table: a table (AutoCAD TABLE object) with the number, X, Y, Z and, if any, the code of the selected points, blocks or polyline vertices. It is meant for setting-out and control-point drawings. It can label the numbers in the drawing and write the same rows to a CSV file.

Usage

Enter COORDTABLE or click Coordinate table in the Terrain data panel of the Topography tab.

Select objects:

Select points, blocks with attributes or polylines (2D, 3D or lightweight) and press Enter.
In the Coordinate table dialog choose the format and, optionally, the CSV file, and click OK.
Specify the upper-left corner of the table.

Specify insertion point:

What each row shows

Point object: a running number from the First number and its coordinates.
Block with attributes: the number, code and elevation from its attributes if it has them (tags such as NUMBER, POINT or ID; CODE or DESC; Z or ELEV). Without a number it is numbered like a point; the position is the insertion point.
Polyline: one numbered row per vertex; the elevation is the polyline elevation (or the vertex Z in a 3D polyline).

The Code column only appears when some row has a code.

Options

Decimals: 0 to 8. The table uses the decimal separator of the language; the CSV always uses a point.
Order: Selection (the order in which objects were selected), Number, X or Y.
First number: the first number for the points and vertices that do not carry one.
Label the numbers in the drawing: writes each number next to its point or vertex, on layer COORD_NUM with the current text height. Blocks already show their own number and are not labelled.
Export to CSV: path of the CSV file (empty: none).

Command line

While the dialog is open the same options can be typed; Enter accepts.

Table options [Decimals/Order/Start/Label/Csv] <Accept>:

Decimals (D), Order (O), Start (S), Label (L, toggles yes and no) and Csv (C, file path).

Notes

The result is an ordinary table: edit it with TABLEDIT and export it with TABLEEXPORT. It does not update when the points move: create it again.
AutoCAD audits the table with no errors in DWG 2018 and 2000.
