layers from csv file

Post by Clifferator » Mon Nov 29, 2021 9:30 am

Hi all
I'm using QCad for land surveying projects, and the new 'import csv' feature has been a fantastic addition, thank you.
When I import points with codes I would like to have all codes in separate layers - codes might be for 'fence', 'building', 'edge of concrete' etc. I can sort data in my csv file then save each group so there's a separate file for each code type, then import them into QCad as a layer for each... it works ok but it's a clunky method, is there a better way I could do this?

No, I don't think there's a better way.

Hi,
could you upload an example on how your data is organized?

You can also reach me by Private Message. :wink:
