AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Perpendicular Line From Point Laying On A Line / Pline

Sep 30, 2013

 I have a line or a pline segment and i want to start a line from a point laying there and go perpendicular outwards. Is there a way to do it with tracking?

Yes, i saw the command draw line at an angle but i find it a little bit complicated for a simple task like that. I am sure autodesk have a simplest solution about that.

If i am already at the draw line mode and i can easy catch the tracking perpendicular to previous segment but if i want to start from another line and go perpendicular i cannot make the tracking work.

How to draw a line perpendicular on an arc at the a particular point?
 
I wanted to draw a line perpendicular to an arc at a particular point but couldn’t approach it. In this case, I need two snaps to work at the same time! To be perpendicular on the curve and at the same time to be snapped to the point!

Illustrator :: How To Draw A Line Perpendicular To The Curve At Particular Point

Apr 24, 2010

I have a curved path I imported into Illustrator, and I'd like to draw a line perpendicular to the curve at a particular point.  I've searched google and this forum, but can't find any description of how to do it.  Corel Draw has a button that lets you do this, so I'm hoping something similar exists in Illustrator...
 
i'm currently just calculating the angle at the point I want using the derivative, finding the angle, and then adding 90 degrees to it.  But I need the line to be placed at a particular point, and the X/Y properties of the line are based on the ruler which isn't even in the center of the document (I want to position it relative to the artboard).  As in, I just want to set the position of one endpoint of the line...

AutoCad :: Extending Line To Face Of Pline?

Jun 12, 2012

what is the setting to tell a line to extend to the face of a pline when that line doesn't actually intersect with the pline? see image below...line 1 will extend to pline faces A and B, but how do i get line 2 to extend to those faces? i know this worked when i used autocad 2008 but i'm now using 2012 LT so hopefully it still works, i just don't remember the command name to control it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawing A Line Perpendicular To An Arc?

Sep 21, 2011

Recently I've been working with a lot more projects that contain curved architectural features. It appears that I am unable to draw a line to an implied perpendicular point on an arc. I can draw a line to an implied point perpendicular to another line but not an arc. refer to attached images.

Image1 demonstrates the implied point perpendicular to a line.

Image2 demonstrates that there is no implied perpendiuclar point on the arc given by AutoCAD.

Image3 demonstrates that if the arc is manually extended, a point perpendicular to the arc does exist.

It seems like this should work.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Segment Label Anchor Point

Jan 30, 2013

I am trying to create surface elevation labels along a polyline and I am having an issue with the label anchor point.  I have created a line label style that uses a reference text to produce the elevation from a specified surface, however when I insert the label the default anchor point for the label is in the center of the line segment and that is where the reference text is taking the surface elevation.  I am looking for the elevation of the surface at the start of each line segment, and I do not know how I can make it stop defaulting to the center of the line segment.

Attached is an overview of what my labels look like, where the anchor point is, and the layout properties within my label style. I am using C3D 2012.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert Feature Line Elevation Point To PI

Nov 6, 2013

Is there a way to convert a feature line elevation point to PI?

My objective here is to delete all the elevation points except one. It would be time consuming to pick each elevation point and delete them individually (in this case there are about 15 but sometimes there are more). I want to use the delete all option but keep one one of them. If I can convert that one into a PI I could then quickly delete the remaining elevation points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Elevation Editor Point Marker?

Mar 24, 2008

Is there any way to increase the size of the marker that shows up on the plan view when you select a PI in the elevation editor? It is so small that if I have the feature line selected I can't see the marker over the highlighted line. I generally have to zoom to a PI so I can see where I am.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Export Point Coordinates And Elevations Along Sample Line

Sep 4, 2012

I'm working on a stream restoration project and we need to determine the x coordinates and corresponding elevations along a stream alignment at certain sample lines.  The centerline of the stream's alignment has been created as well as sample lines for cross sections at 50' intervals. We need the coordinates & elevations of each sample line (cross section) exported into an excel/txt document.

For instance, at station 1+00 of the alignment  we have a sample line.  We need to know to the right and left along that sample line the corresponding elevations and that x coordinate) from the alignment.  Primarily, whole contour intervals but more information would be useful as well.  I was hoping this could be automatically generated.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Insert Elevation Point On Feature Line By Grade

I want to set and Elevation Point (not a PI Point) along a feature line by entering the grade from the previous point.  Currently the "Set Elevation Point" command only allows entering an elevations or getting an elevation from the surface.  I know I can set an elevation point and then use the "quick elevation editor" to adjust the grade, but I don't want to go through the extra step.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Range Of Point Numbers Makes 3D Line Segments

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Current Point Marker For Feature Line?

Aug 29, 2013

I want to navigate along my feature line, viewing which point is screen is the current point at the grid.

My feature line shows its points with blue circle & square grips and the current point is showed by a green circle. 

The problem is the zoom level, Grips have always the same size but circular green indicator does not. 

You can only view this last at a very detailed zoom. 

I'd like to have a "big" arrow or something similar.The problem is the great difficulty to identify points....

I have already two programs for this, one for placing objects on curve with specific length and 2nd for pick & export coordinates to excel or other type of file. but this is very lengthy process & need too big time. but I think it cab be done in a single command written in lisp.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Feature Line By Snapping To Cogo Point Node

Oct 7, 2013

I think this issue started with SP2. I don't remember having these issues in SP1 and earlier.

Create some COGO points at varying elevations.Start a new feature line.Use "node" object snap and pick your first cogo pointIt does not pick up the elevation of the point (it used to)Now draw feature line segments to a few more cogo points entering the elevation each time.It does not pick up the elevation of the point (it used to)Now switch to Arc mode and snap to a few more cogo points.It does correctly picks up the elevation of the cogo points (like it used to)R.K.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Line With Thicker Appearance Than Typical Line Of Width 0

Mar 26, 2009

I am looking to draw my pipe with a thicker appearance than the typical line of width "0". Our storm pipes are usually drawn with this so as to stand out from other utilities. If the pipe is represented by a polyline, I have usually adjusted the "Width" or "Global Width" value to my liking. With pipe objects, it seems more complicated. I have searched the settings, and the closest thing that I could find was the Lineweight property, but that appears to have no effect on the line thickness in the CAD drawing.

Do I need to tweak a plot setting? Make a new linetype altogether?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Remove Feature Line Used As Break Line When Creating Surface

Dec 11, 2012

I needed to remove a feature line that I used as a break line when creating a surface.   When I removed the feature line from the definition of the surface, the grading did not change.  It appears the points created by the feature line remain which is why grading didn't change.  The only work around was to delete these points. 

I noticed the same thing happens when I removed the surface boundary and inserted a new boundary.  why these points remain and how to remove when I delete boundary and feature line from surface?
