POINTSIN is a civil engineering and survey tool that reads point data (ID, North, East, Elevation, Description) from a file and inserts an attributed Land Desktop(Softdesk/DCA)-style POINT block and a 3d point in AutoCAD for every point in the file. It also has a command to create a single point.
You can change the POINT block if you prefer. The order and graphical arrangement of the attributes doesn't matter. The default POINT block attributes are one unit high. POINTSIN scales the POINT block to the dimension text height (dimscale * dimtxt), so the default POINT block will look as big as the current dimension text height.
You can delete or comment out the lines that insert a 3d point or the POINT block. You can also comment out the lines that create and set layers.
Download POINTSIN.LSP (save it to your computer) by following the link on this page. Also download POINT.DWG (save it to your computer) by following the link on this page or make your own POINT block. If you don't have a points data file to import, you may also want to download the sample POINTS.TXT file.
At minimum, all POINTSIN.LSP needs to work is the POINT block and points data file. Simply drag POINT.DWG from Windows Explorer into your drawing, then load and run POINTSIN.LSP by dragging it into your drawing, typing POINTSIN, and following the prompts to select the data file. That's all there is to it.
It is a very simple matter to change layer behavior. Please open POINTSIN.LSP in NOTEPAD.EXE for guidance.
It is a very simple matter to change whether POINTSIN.LSP inserts 3dpoints, point blocks, or both. Please open POINTSIN.LSP in NOTEPAD.EXE for guidance.
It is a very simple matter to add more file formats. If you need an unsupported file format and you aren't comfortable adding it yourself after reviewing the source code, please contact me.
POINTSIN.LSP neither creates additional files nor writes to the Windows registry.

The Sicilian Pelikan is not an opening for the faint of heart. It requires a willingness to accept structural damage, defend precisely under pressure, and launch violent counterattacks. By studying comprehensive PDF manuals and master games, you will develop an understanding of its deep positional themes, transforming what looks like a broken pawn structure into a powerful weapon for Black. If you want to narrow down your study, let me know: What is your or experience level?

Because the e-pawn has advanced to e5, the d6-pawn can no longer be protected by another pawn. It acts as a static target on an open file. Black protects it using pieces (often the queen or rooks) and relies on active counter-attacks to prevent White from piling up on it. 3. The King's Indian Bishop (Bg7) vs. Active F-Pawn
