Hi Michael, hi Jon,
The reason for this list is simple but quite useful .
An example of where I would like to automatically create a list :
For emergency cases all rescue equipments are drawn on layout plans of our factory.
These are for ex. : fire extinguishers, first aid kits , breathing air , eye showers , safety showers , and much more.
This equipment is distributed across the factory in large amount.
Through the factory, there are Plans similar to well-known "escape and rescue plans" , where this equipments are shown.
To help the people and especially the external contractors to find the required equipment quickly, I would like to add a table with this coordinates, additional to the symbols.
I do not know which programming language I want to use for that. I do not have a lot experience with programming and so I wanted to see where you lead me there....
Jon , thank you for your explanations and your example code.
The way you write this, everything seems to be so easy.... :)
I'll read everything in peace and try how far I get with it.
Thanks
Regards
Raphael
