I need to export out the XY coordinates for a mapped area. There are many lines of text. It will be input in another program (not CAD) offsite. The tech is requesting flat text file.[/list]

To my knowledge you can't do this straight out of AutoCAD. This sounds like you need a custom LSP to do the following.
1.
Extract the points from your file.
2.
Then convert the points into x,y coordinates
3.
And possibly save the file as a CSV (comma delimited) file

I can figure out the theory behind your problem just a little rusty on writing LSP.

Hopefully someone here shed some light from my analysis. :oops:

Later guy.
