Could this be taking a step further by running a script that initiates the opening of a selected csv file and using the script to input these for you. We do this very same thing to trace shapes and this would speed up the manually cut and pasting that our students would be doing. If this is possible, seems so as in theory it seems trivial, would you mind pointing me into the best place to start. If I can do this then every optical machine we sell we be coming with a purchased version of QCAD pro.

Thank You Andrew ahead of time

You can use Misc > Import/Export > Import Points to import a CSV file with x,y pairs as point entities. This could be easily adjusted to import lines, etc.
