    CAD QUESTION

    borgunit - Stationing a centerline in civil engineering usually involves selecting an existing polyline, and the program puts a tic mark (usually about 5' in length & perpindicular to the polyline) every 50 feet, with a "station label" every 100 feet (i.e. at the 100 foot mark - 1+00, at the 200...

    CAD QUESTION

    OK - perhaps I wasn't exactly clear enough. - I understand that design goes much faster and smoother in C3D. However, I am usually forced to design in ACAD 2008. Occasionally, I can free up a license long enough to station a centerline, and then I have to return to ACAD 2008. This is not my...

    CAD QUESTION

    Chicopee - thanks for your reply, but thats not quite what I was looking for. You see, when we station one in C3D, it places the tick marks at the stations, labels the stations, labels the bearing and distance of all tangents, labels all curve data, marks and labels all PC's and PT's with...

    CAD QUESTION

    I currently perform Civil Design in ACAD 2007 & 2008. In order to station the centerline of a road, I am having to put the centerline into Civil 3D and station it. I was hoping that one of you more technically savvy guys/gals may know of an autolisp/script/tool/plugin/etc. that may allow me to...

    how can I divide several objects at once in autocad?

    Let's say I have 300 polylines of different length in a drawing. I want to divide them each into 5 equal parts. Currently, I use the "divide" command, but it only lets you pick one at a time. Therefore, I have to do it 300 times. Any help, or tips, or a lisp?

    how can I divide several objects at once in autocad?

    Let's say I have 300 polylines of different shape and length on a layer. The "divide" comand will only let you pick one at a time. How can I select all of them, and divide each into 5 equal sections? Any tips or lisps are welcome. Thanks.
