I am using LabVIEW 2009 and i have an application to get x- y co ordinates from a .dxf file.so can i get the x-y co- ordinates in labVIEW without using motion assistant?

thanks.... but my problem is not still solved....i tried with motion assistant and .dxf files....motion assistant is creating a data file folder in which .dxf file is being converted into .xml file...and the x-y co-ordinates are easily readable....so  if anyone has got the codes/basics that motion assistant is using to create .xml file from .dxf file...please sent me....

or how to find cordinates from a .dxf file...so that i can build an array of X-Y cordiantes using labview 2009...please help...

Hi sajeesh,

please don't create double posts!

Why would someone give you the "codes/basics" of the motion assistant? Either you can open it (then look inside) or you can't (then we can't either)...

Why would someone work in it's valuable time and write a tool for you to convert dxf files when you don't want to pay for it?

Please read this, search the NI-Forum or Google on your own and think about more specific questions...

has some one got any idea?please help

Read the specification on DXF files.

Then write a program that will parse through the file for you to find the data you are interested in.

I don't think this would be a difficult project.  But it certainly isn't a small project.  Unless someone has already done this themselves, sees your message, and is willing to send you their code, you are going to have to figure this out yourself.  Then if you get stuck on a particular detail, then post back with a direct question.

Has any one got the codes to convert a DXF File to X-Y Cordinates...

In the month since you last posted, what have you accomplished? You should at least been able to read a dxf file and at least learned which seci\tion contains the data you need. Attach what you have so far and explain the problem you are stuck at.
