sbucher,
What is your application or use for these coordinates? Plotting points would still require you to type in each x&y coordinate, no time saved! Maybe you are wanting a macro to list the coordinates of lines and arcs? Maybe you want something that will generate G&M code? If so, you can save your work in DXF format and convert it to G-code using free software called Ace Converter this is open-source software that creates toolpaths for cnc equipment. It does ok, but still needs a little editing after the code is generated.
