Mixed - Import CAD Dimensions

• 🔽 Mixed_Import CAD Dimensions

Mixed_Import CAD Dimensions. This script imports dimension lines from a CSV file into the Cyclone 3DR environment. It supports multiple dimension types and automatically organizes imported lines into a named group. The CSV file could be generated with the ExportDimentions.lsp LISP for AutoCAD

Requirements: 

• Prepare a CSV file with the following format:

Size;Type;X1;Y1;Z1;X2;Y2;Z2

• Supported types: Text, Linear, Aligned, Ordinate, Horizontal, Vertical.

Steps:

CAD software:

1. Add the LISP to AutoCAD.  Type the  APPLOAD command for that in the command line.
   APPLOAD → Browse → Select your .lsp file → Load → Close

2. Select linear measurements that you would like to export. And use the EXPORTDIMS2CSV command

3. Choose a CSV file containing dimension data.

4. Choose a save location for the CSV file

Cyclone 3DR:

1. Run the Script

2. File Selection Dialog

• Choose a CSV file containing dimension data.

• Enter a group name for organizing imported lines.

3. CSV Parsing & Line Creation

Each line in the CSV is parsed and validated.

Lines are created based on type:

• Text/Linear/Aligned: Regular lines between two points.

• Ordinate: Axis-aligned lines (X or Y).

• Unknown types default to regular lines with a warning.
