Draw Centerline File

Function

This command reads a centerline (.CL) file and plots it as a 2D polyline in the drawing at the proper coordinates. First you are prompted for the layer name for the polyline to be created.  There is also an Options choice that allows you to specify whether to draw PI lines, and specify the length of same.

Next you are prompted for the file name of the centerline to plot.

The .CL file can be made with the following commands on the Design menu: Polyline to CL File, Input-Edit Centerline or Design Centerline. Drawing the centerline file is a way to check the .CL file data graphically for correctness. If a spiral exists in the .CL file, the spiral will be represented by polyline segments.
