After adjustment, I'm trying to output just the coordinate data. The dxf option seems to output a lot more than that. Is there a way to output just the points and related, adjusted coordinates? I'd cut and paste them into a txt or csv file from the "output" window, but that text isn't "live". What is the best way to do this?

you can use the point reformatter to do that. I change it to output as csv files for me to work with.

Cheers

That's a good way. You can also set it to generate a seperate coordinate file every time you run the adjustment. Project Options- Other Files.

It is in v6. Did they break that in v7? I often cut-and-paste directly from the output window.

Edit: I just checked, and while the output window text is selectable in v6, cursor control is a little unusual (and probably non-standard), which might lead one to think the text isn't selectable.

You can also open the List file and Point file in notepad.

In version 8, the text is selectable but there is no edit menu on 'right-click'.
CTRL + C works OK though

Sweet. Not the most intuitive, but I tried Ctrl-C and it works fine in V.8 (demo).
Thanks for the ideas.
