I HAVE BEEN USING SCRIPTS IN ACADLT FOR TWO DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS AND WOULD LIKE TO USE SCRIPTS FOR 3-D IN INTELLICAD. I CAN GET THEM TO WORK PARTIALLY, BUT THE TEXT COMMAND PUTS ALL THE TEXT ONE UNDER THE NEXT INSTEAD OF BESIDE EACH POINT.

EXAMPLE

POINT 0000.000<000d00'00",00000.000
TEXT 0000.000<000d00'00",00000.000
POINT 0015.218<327d13'00",-0000.091
TEXT 0015.218<327d13'00",-0000.091
POINT 0246.460<353d35'00",-0002.677
TEXT 0246.460<353d35'00",-0002.677

THIS WORKS FOR 2-D

POINT 0000.000<359d24'20"
TEXT 0000.000<359d24'20" 1
POINT 0000.000<217d40'40"
TEXT 0000.000<217d40'40" 2
POINT 0009.469<240d43'00"
TEXT 0009.469<240d43'00" 3
POINT 0009.880<245d38'20"
TEXT 0009.880<245d38'20" 4
POINT 0004.373<203d52'40"
TEXT 0004.373<203d52'40" 5

ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED

I haven't played with scripts for a long time but I know that the Text command automatically defaults to under the previous Text.

To position your Text adjacent to the point you must give the Text a location point position.

I used the script recorder to locate two points and place text adjacent to the points, as you can see.

point
570,2841 <--Point
text
602,2696 <--Text Point Position
50 <-- Text Height
0 <-- Text Rotation
Start Point
Point
586,2108
Text
650,1995
50
0
Next Point
_STOPSCRIPT

Try the script recorder from the
Tools-->Record Script. on the pull down menu.

Note you cannot use toolbars and menus in script recording.

Hope this helps.
