eqivalent of autocad li(st) command

Hello,
I have not used autocad for a while, but I think ‘li’ was the command I used.

Explanation: I often used autocad to convert graphs to tabular data.
I would put the graph bitmap on a layer, and draw a grid on another layer, and then put points on another layer where the graph crossed the grid.
Then I would turn off the first 2 layers and use the list command to get the properties of all those points.
List would open a new text editor style window and I could cut and paste from this window, and save the data to be processed elsewhere.

Does Qcad have a way of doing this?

Thank you.

Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum.

Sounds like: Store positions and use positions as a list of coordinates for a drawing tool.
See tutorial Reusing Drawing Positions (QCAD Pro only)

On ‘Store Positions’ the XY coordinates are listed in the Command History.
What can be selected and copied as text.

Not that it is directly usable in a spreadsheet for example depending your local settings.
The decimal point is always a dot, the Cartesian separator is by QCAD preference, EOL is OS related (CR+LF or \r\n under Windows)
In my case I need to convert all the Cartesian separators (:wink: in a TAB (\t) and all dots into commas with a text editor. :wink:

Thanks CVH.
Not quite what I needed, but I think I can work with it.

Autocad would list the elements with their properties including their location.

What other specific properties are there to list for point entities?

There are of course the general properties: Layer, Color, … Draw Order and Handle.
And perhaps user defined properties or custom properties (if assigned with QCAD).

A custom script may be an option.
Also see dwg2csv Command Line Tool but that may be complex to configure depending your requirements.
