Our last tip of the month came in from previous tipster Jeff Sanders. This tip is something that many have pursued since the dawn of AutoLISP: Read a File Containing Coordinate Data and Plot Points (Tip #2080). This tip is not an ordinary point import routine. It's not written for a specific file type and format; Jeff's utility will work with ASCII text as well as Excel files. You can use data in different formats as well. For LISP programmers this tip is a powerful example of manipulating Excel data as well as a nice template to adapt to your own data requirements. A tip of the hat to Jeff for a quality tip!
