After a couple of post on the swamp I was about to get the info I needed for lisp that would extract the required info from the attached BOM. Now I have been asked to get all the lines off the drawings. That doesn't sound real difficult, other than not all the drawings have the same number of lines of text. So I've attached one of the drawings for suggestions / help. The info needs to be extracted to a comma delimited file. The BOM is always the same size no matter the scale of the drawing. It is always the some distance from the top right corner of the drawing. Thank you
