  1. Hello Bijoy,

    Very useful .LISP
    THanks for sharing. It's just a pity it cannot import the Height coordinate also.

    Cheers,

  2. Thank you for this post. How can I get the data to be put into the exact coordinate I specify, without the circle being there?

    1. To be more specific, I want the text to be located exactly where my coordinates are, and for only the test in column 1 to be displayed, without the marking circle. Thanks, Brendan.

  3. Hello, nice work, you can also enter the Z coordinate?
    One other thing, I had to change the commands with _ to make it work on my language version.
    Thanks! Gianluca
