extract basepoint

i looked at the other post and couldnt get much. i wasnt sure where to post this either so i apologize if this is the wroing location.
what i looking for is help in extracting the basepoint and putting that value into a txt file or an excel file. i dont have a clue how to do this. i looked into this on the web and the books i have. now im here. i would appreciate any help. thanks

If you are looking to write a lisp program to do this, look at dxf codes for
blocks (dxf code 10)
and the "open" lisp funtion to write to file.

 

thanks for the reply

Here's the pseudo code to what i am looking for.

1. Get current BASE point
.........save it in a variable
2. Get current dwgname
.........save it in a variable
3. Export the information into a txt or excel file
Drawing Number____|____Basepoint
__ABC123.dwg______|______0,0,0__

i would like this to be in a script. what i dont know how to do is the exporting part. the information i get, i dont know how to put that into a txt or a excel file.

I think you're looking for the System Variable "INSBASE" (the insertion base
point for the drawing if it's inserted into something else), rather than the
dxf code 10 of a block as Dann suggested.

 

someone helped me out. thanks for the help here.
