Hello,
Can someone help me?
I have a curve to trace that is defined by some (a lot) X,Y coordinate in an excel sheet, is it possible to make a script or other method to achieve my goal?
Thanks
Hugues

Yes, this should be possible.
First you will have to convert your data into something easy to parse, for example CSV (plain text file, fields separated for example with tabs).
Then have a look at the example script "inputxy.qs" and example data "inputxy.txt" which should at least be a good starting point.

You might have to enter the full path of the file you want to read or hard-code it into the script or extend the script to display a file open dialog.hborsarello wrote:I'm trying but have some problem, that say that cannot read the file....

QCAD generally behaves almost the same on all platforms.

You can use the tool to create a polyline from segments:
