    Points by elevation,distance, and along path

    I would like to create points using LDD. I need the points to be exactly 25' apart, interpolate between two elevations from one end of a line to another, and follow the path of the line which includes an arc...all at one time. How can I do this quickly?

    Plotting Autocad 2k

    Striker is correct. In ACAD 2000 paper space changes, and becomes known as the layout. By right-clicking the layout tab on the lower left of the screen, you can set that one layout to plot exactly how you want it every time. The right-click allows you to set the settings without plotting the...

    Can it be Done?

    You don't specify a valid argument. My statement includes: Studying every experience an engineer has had in a forty year period. A proper study would include researching his resoning and reactions, how they came about, and why he chose what he chose. How is this argument valid? To me, you...

    Revision Cloud

    Copy the original revision cloud files back over to your main support files, and erase the old revision cloud files. If you need the names of the files, I can give them to you, just email. This is the best, easiest, and fastest way to deal with this problem.
