New CSV import tool

Post by ryancousins » Fri Jun 04, 2021 1:09 pm

The new CSV import looks very elegant based on the very helpful tutorial. https://qcad.org/tutorial-importing-poi ... s-from-csv

I wanted to try it out so I downloaded the example .csv file linked in the tutorial. When I tried to import it, I received errors for "unsupported text entries" for all of the text lines. Then it said "nothing casted" and that was it. I never saw the dialog box come up for this new tool. I'm sure I'm forgot to do something but at this point I'm not sure.

I'm running on Win10 Pro

I think you might be running CVH's CSV tool (Misc > Import/Export > Draw from CSV).

The new point / label import is under Misc > Import/Export > Import Points with Labels....
