Pingback: AutoLISP: Mid-Point of Entire Polyline| AutoCAD Tips. The ARRAY tool now has the ARRAYPATH command that lets you copy objects along a path and evenly distribute them along the path. I finally was achieved the result I was looking for b switching to setting the size Relative to the Screen and set the Point Size to 1%. To create points along a polyline or surface contour using distance and surface elevations Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys. For more information, see Before You Create Points.
Hello All, I am still pretty new to the C3D world. So any help is greatly appreciated! I receive files alot from actual drafters. These files have just standard contour lines at elevation. I would like to insert points along those lines so that i can give to surveyors or build a file for GPS dozer. The problem is that it take SO LONG to insert an elevation for each and every point. Is there a way to use the create points command to automatically put in the elevation or at least put allow me to put in the elevation once?
Please let me know if this does not make sense, I will try and explain further. Thanks in advance! Even though it appears that you folks are working backwards, you can just have these polylines included in your surface.

I'm having a hard time following exactly what you want to do, but if you have contours at elevation, you should be able to use those to create a surface. Then you'll have a surface model, which can give you elevations everywhere.
The caveat, of course, is that building a surface from contours typically introduces a lot of error, and the result may not be suitable for survey stakeout or machine control. If possible, it might be ideal to go back to your source, and ask for the surface in a different form, such as LandXML export, or (at minimum) a drawing with TIN triangles in it. Then you can rebuild the surface accurately.

Sinc http://www.quuxsoft.com. Back to the elevations along a polyline, I was drawn to this post because I was hoping in 2010 we could pull elevations from polylines, 2d with an elevation, 3dPoly’s, figure or feature lines. I found the create points interpolate, but it does not set a point at the beginning or the end of the line. The biggest reason for wanting this is to select the civil’s back of curb feature line for creating points of back of curb staking. I was really hoping there was a way to set a point and have it inherit the elevation.
We set the point and then move/snap it to the line to get it to inherit the elevation. I’m excited about the potential to just select the feature line to set points at the beginning, every 25 feet, at grade changes and the end; with the offset, with one pick. Am I dreaming or missing something?
Hello, I found which is similar to what I'm looking for. However, how do I enter survey points on a curve. For example, I have the curve data: R=1630' Tangent=228.20' Chord=226.20' Arc=226.38' Delta=07d57'26' and Chord Bearing=N21d23'50'W How can I draw that on ACad? I'm using AutoCAD 2006. Like the other guy said, I'm sure this is a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer. Using just AutoCAD?
There are many ways. One way would be to draw a circle with a radius of 1630.
Break the circle in two places so you are left with an ARC. Then use LENGTHEN to set the length of the arc to 226.38 The problem with this method is that the arc is just floating in space. If you need this arc to be tangent to a line or another arc, then try this method. Start with the line from which you want to draw this tangent ARC. Draw a line perpendicular to this line.
Move the new line to the endpoint where you want the ARC to start. Use LENGTHEN to make the line 1630' (make sure to lengthen the OTHER end of the line, not where it meets the original line) - this is now your radius point. Next, rotate this line the amount of the delta (7d57'26' - whichever direction you need the arc to go - using the radius point as the base) At this point, you have: the ARC start point (the end of the original line) the ARC end point (the end of the new line after it was rotated) the ARC radius point You can now draw the ARC. Hello everyone, Some of this is over my head, and not a problem because I am not a surveyor, but I do work producing maps for presentation.
I have been trying to understand how to draw curves in property lines and at this point I can only produce them freehand. Q: how do I draw this coordinates in AutoCAD 2006 Full version. First line: @223.86.
