Is there a way of plotting spreadhseet graphs in libreCAD? Although spreadsheet graphs are great, scales like for instance 1 in 50 and 1 in 10 cannot be set along the x and y axes. The way I envisage the process working is one widget would be used to set up x & y axes and a second widget would be used to import csv data from a spreadheet and plot the graphs. The embellishments, e.g. headings and the legend, would be done manually. I have attached a spreadsheet with two graphs. A manally plotted version of the second graph plotted in autoCAD & subsequently embellished in libreCAD has been attached. (The autoCAD plotting was done by a third party on my behalf.) In this example I applied a scale of 1 in 50 along both x & y axes. There are complex topographies in which heights & height differences cannot be depicted using contours and the number of height profiles plotted using road construction software is excessive from a practical standpoint. Graphs are the only practical solution.
