Objects to position according to coordinate list

[talmacsi_petrolterv]

Actually I have a list of coordinates (in a text/csv/excel file), and I have to position object elements (800 pcs) to the coordinates in the list.

I thought that a python script could do this. I tried with the excel export/import script.

But as far as I can see: with this method I can adjust almost every property, but of the object coordinates.

I need help to solve this issue.

I'm not addicted to the python method, any other solution would be welcomed.

If I understood you correctly, 

SomeStuff add-on can write property values directly into an element's ID field using its Sync_to{ID} command. 

I've updated the example file to demonstrate this specific functionality. You can download the latest version to see how Sync_to{ID} works in practice

Works perfectly.

Thanks!!

Can I find the possible other parameters/fields to sync, somewhere?

Dear Berndt & runxel & Mathias,

Thanks for the info about tapir - it will help a lot later. A long time ago I wanted to try it out - but I thought it is much more complicated; now I know it's not. Your quick & concise answers really helped me.

Yes, of course. Automatically translated help for commands is here

Hi Dmitry,

I am also trying to set the ID, position and size of a large number of objects from data in an excel spreadsheet.  This looks like the perfect solution - but the example file linked is no longer available.  could you put one up again showing how to do this? (ideally in AC28)

Thanks

Ben
