Jan 28, 2010 · (assuming you're in World UCS) Rotate your ucs around the x axis 90, use Plan > Current. Draw the 'wall' in plan as you did in post #3. Divide it with the number of segments you want (points). Go back to World > Plan. Use the nod osnap to draw the vertical lines from the points you just created using the Divide command.
- In simple cases it is possible to use a command array, in difficult it is necessary to write the program or a macro or to search for the existing....
- thx for your reply, but it is not what i need. i need the distance between the lines one wider than the previous.
- louislaw, I should quote you. Initially the question sounded differently
- Those lines represent even angular spacing. You could do a polar array to follow the circular portion in the plan detail, say 5 degree increments,...
- Or as a variant the command divide, will mark a curve on the necessary number of segments with the set step
- If you make a block which is a vertical line, then using Measure or Divide with a block, but do not align block with object, then a quick explode,...
- or having done it once create a dynamic block that can be stretched into place.
- something like this maybe.... array.dwg
- this is exactly what I do. Works great, and does not take much time.

These techniques apply to basic CAD programs such as AutoCAD, IntelliCAD, etc. If you have a civil/survey program or add-on, such as Land Desktop, SurvCADD, Eagle Point, etc., then there are built-in tools for entering lines and curves.
Let's say you have a paper plot or a legal description of a closed boundary. Let's work our way around it. Below is an example of what you might have. Start with a line segment if there is one. Let's start in the lower left (or most southwesterly) corner and work clockwise for this example. For each line segment, a bearing and distance is given. St...
The orientation of tangent curves is determined by the previous entity, but for non-tangent curves you need to know how the curve is oriented. This is the case for non-tangent curves in the middle of a figure or if you want to start your figure with a curve. You can use either the Chord Bearing and Chord Distance or you can use the Radial Bearing.
Using most CAD programs including vanilla AutoCAD, you can enter survey data from a drawing or deed without needing any special tools or add-ons. However, if entering this type of data is a frequent occurance, you may consider upgrading to a program that includes faster methods for this type of data entry. Top of page
Oct 8, 2023 · How do you create a 3D polyline from points that takes on the elevation of the points selected? To create polyline using available points in the drawing do following: 1. Start 3D polyline command (command: "3DPOLY") 2. While still in command type 'PO ("Point Object" transparent command) in command-line. Apostrophe is important when calling transparent command. 3. Click the first point and then ...

Jan 10, 2018 · Create a sketch of the u-shaped cross section on the XY plane and then use align to position it perpendicular to the tangent of the end arc. In the following image the red line is tangent to the arc, the cyan line 90° to it in the xy plane, and the green line perpendicular to the red and green lines.
