Co-ordinate list

Post by shaun jeneke »

HI ALL, HOW DO I CREATE A CO-ORDINATED LIST OF POINTS? DO I WRITE ALL THE CO-ORDINATES DOWN AND REWRITE THEM OR IS THERE AN EASIER WAY??
THANKS

Have a look at "Survey =>Setout =>Setout points using super string"
Will create point number labels, table of values and a text file of the values if required.

The main way I use this, is to draw a super string with vertices at each point I want in the co-ordinate list.
Then using "Tins=>Drape=>Drape" with drape mode changed to "vertices only" set the vertices levels to the design surface.

If you do a search there is probably some more info in the forums on the above panel.

Hi Shaun,

You can also create a really nice table by exporting the strings to a text file (tab delimeted) using Data Output xyz General.

Then you create a tabel from the file using Drafting > Text and Tables > Table Create/Edit.

There was a PDF in the frequently asked questions but I am struggling to find it.
