I have several shape file points that I have imported into Civil 3D as AutoCAD points that also have object data (OD) attached. I need to convert these AutoCAD points to cogo points and also include the OD items. Is there a collection of nodes that will allow me to make this happen? I have some exp…

Something like this should get you going. I didn’t test it on sample data so you’ll probably have to adjust a little. ODExample.dyn (31.1 KB) [ODExample]

Thank you so much! I owe you several beers sir! you got me 90% of the way there. I just had to add an additional set of nodes to take a specific OD record and input it as the point name. [CogoPnt_w_OD_2021-12-10_02-56-05]

You’re welcome! Glad you got it working.

[Dyn_1] I hope my screenshot shows up. Hi, I just tried your ODExample.dyn graph on a drawing containing AutoCAD Points with OD Numbers. It worked, creating COGO Points, after I put in the Table Name. I have some questions. How do you add the helpful titles on the colored rectangle collections…

Thank you. Good explanations. Dave

Nice to see you popping into the Dynamo forum @Pointdump :+1:t3: welcome!

Thanks Kirk. I’m just getting started. Been reading and watching videos.

Hi Mike, I’m trying to add OD to both Point Name and Description. I can’t get your added Nodes to work. Can I get a screen shot of the Min, Max, and Step values you used in the Number and Integer Sliders? Also, what does Flatten do? Thanks. Dave [Flatten_1]
