AutoCAD Tip: Useful Add-in to number elements and produce coordinate schedules

By Dennis Collin

SACOOR is a useful Add-in to help AutoCAD users extract the coordinates for elements such as Polylines, Points or Blocks to and then export them to an external file. This file is a simple CSV format file that can imported into Excel or any other database, alternatively it can be referenced into AutoCAD as a data link and read as a table.

The app asks for a starting number and places a reference number for each point to coordinate the drawing to the schedule table.

Alternatively the data can be viewed in a product like Excel.

The SACOOR function is free to use and can be downloaded from the App store here:
