Would it be possible to have a function that could replace native AutoCAD points with LandFX trees for locating existing trees on a site.
Example, we pull information from our GIS database to develop a base file. Part of that information is a tree survey that imports as simple points. It would be helpful on larger sites to have LandFX be able to place a tree on every point on a particular layer. Then if user can specify an evergreen symbol for points on the evergreen tree layer, large deciduous for shade tree layer, etc. I have messed around to see if I could find a simple workaround but so far nothing I have used has been that functional or time saving.
Thoughts?

Brandon,
We have a pretty cool tool that will import a CSV file and allow you to assign specified blocks to given data points. If you can get your data into a csv format, please try the following.
*With the proper Land F/X project loaded:
1- Type "IMPORTCSV" into the commandline and pick your csv file.
2- A dialog box will appear and you will see the data listed above. Find the columns that hold the position of those given points. The header could read "X" and "Y", or "Long" and "Lat", or "Easting" and "Northing".
3- Pick the option in the X/Y dropdowns that match the columns in the data above.
4- Select the "Tree" option and pick the type of tree you wish to be used in place of those points.
5- Pressing ok will put all blocks into the drawing at the given points.
If you have several different types of trees you wish to place, you will need to create different csv files that hold each point set data for each type of tree needed and import each file individually.
Please let us know if you have any questions and we can go from there if needed.

Great! I hadn't come across the Importcsv command yet. I will give it a try.
