Import Xyz Points Into Autocad Free

The ASCPOINT command reads selected file (comma- or space-delimited, e.g. From Excel, CSV) and inserts points, vertices or blocks on the specified coordinates. The option 'Insert' allows to select a predefined block with any number of attributes. The input file can then contain the values of these attributes which will be filled in on import.

Hello, I am currently an autocad technician at a civil engineering company specializing in marine structure design. For a lot of our projects we are sent survey data of waterways and it comes in as a .xyz file. We currently use an older program called Terramodel to view the data and then convert to a .dwg and bring into our drawings. Now at my last job, I was using civil 3d and would use map import to bring in ERSI shape files (.shp) into CAD that were sent to us from certain survey teams from around the country. Can I use this same function with a .xyz file? Thank you

Importing points, such as survey point data collected by a data collector, is a quick and effective way to place points into a drawing.

Before you import points, you must create a point file format that describes the layout of the point data in the point data file.

For more information, see About Point File Formats.

Important: The highest point number allowed in Civil 3D is 4,294,967,295. You can use point names or User Defined Properties to reference numbers greater than 4,294,967,295. For more information, see About Using Custom Properties With Points.

You can add the imported points to a point group, make adjustments to the data as it is imported, including elevation adjustments, coordinate transformation, or coordinate data expansion, encounter how the imported points are numbered as they are created.

  1. Specify the Point Identity settings, which control the point numbers of the created points. For more information, see To Edit the Import Options Settings.
  2. Click Home tabCreate Ground Data panelPoints menuPoint Creation ToolsFind.
  3. On the Create Points toolbar, click the Import Points button.
  4. In the Import Points dialog box, click , and select the point data files you want to import.

    After you have specified a point file, the Specify Point File Format list is filtered by the file types that are potential matches for the file that you selected.

    Note: To toggle off or on the file format filter, click .

    Based on the specified point file format, the selected point file is parsed and a preview is displayed in the Preview area.

  5. Select the appropriate point file format.

    The display of the Preview area changes to reflect the currently selected point file format and the contents of the selected point file.

  6. Optionally, specify a point group to which the imported points are added.
  7. Optionally, specify advanced options for elevation adjustment, coordinate transformation, or coordinate data expansion.
  8. Click OK to import the points.
