Visually importing a list of points from an Access database to a DXF file You can do this by selecting the cells in the Access database and copy-pasting them into Pointor. Here is an example:
How you display the points and save them in a DXF file is up to you, as just use the options dialog box., as shown below:
Even if you have an idea of the extents (feet miles meters lightyears?) there's nothing like axes to give detail of the distribution. The two screenshots below show how labelled axes are an great help in understanding the information which is contained in the list of points. The examples below are 2D, though the program can do 3D points as well. Compare the image at the top of this page with the one below, see how much more information there is!
Of course Pointor allows you to enable or disable the axes, just as it does with grids. The measurements used for axes and grid are the same. Whether you choose to show grid lines or axes lines depends on the type and density of the data. If you choose both then to all intents and purposes it is like simply choosing the grid. Options for grids, axes and layers are set in the options dialog box.

How to convert an Excel table to a DXF file "My
interest is in loading borehole data into a DXF file. Right now, I'm using
TurboCAD to create 2-D and 3-D site maps.I am trying to integrate facility
data with geophysical log data to create 3-D visualizations of subsurface
contamination.Conventional software for this tends to rely on geostatistics,
but that really isn't approriate for this type of dataset. (too much to
key in, but too little for valid geostatistical assessment). Pointor comes with a normal windows help file which you can preview on line here.
