Hi Tommy!

To the best of my knowledge APT was a very early machine programming language. Lots of shops still use it, though I am just learning about it now. Basically I would like to “using VBA and AutoCAD” extract out the vertexes just as you said, but before that you would have a few “if” statements to check what the first entity is such as line, point, or circle.

L1 = LINE/ 1, 0, 1, 1

P1 = POINT/ 4, 5.25, 0

C1 = CIRCLE/CENTER, P1, RADIUS, 1.5

Lets say on this part our code finds for example 6 lines In series you would print to a text file something like this:

L1 = LINE/ X, X, X, X
L2 = LINE/ X, X, X, X
L3 = LINE/ X, X, X, X
L4 = LINE/ X, X, X, X
L5 = LINE/ X, X, X, X
L6 = LINE/ X, X, X, X
PLXY = PLANE/
CUTTER/ 1
FEDRAT/ 20
FROM/
GO/ TO, L1, PLXY, TO, L6
GORGT/ L1, PAST, L2
GORGT/ L2, PAST, L3
AND SO ON.....

I don't have any code as of yet, but I am searching for examples.....
