> 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 experience with Dynamo and I just want to know if this is possible. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope respond.
