This command creates points at a specified distance along an entity
such as a line,
arc, spline or polyline. The points are listed out on the text screen,
stored in
the current coordinate (.CRD) file and drawn on the screen. For
example, you might use
this command to locate lot corner points along a frontage line. When
Break Entity at Points is checked, the selected entity will be broken
at
every
located point. When Create Point at Endpoint is checked, points will
also be
located at the endpoints
of the selected entity. Horizontal Distance Between Points allow you to
specify the distance between located points. There
is also an option to create points on curved portions of the centerline
at a
different interval than
on tangent portions (to reduce chord lengths, a shorter interval may be
suitable for curves).
For improved descriptions on the points, there is an option, in this main dialog, allowing you to determine whether or not to label elevations on the new points. And for the purposes of describing the points, there is an option that allows you to set the same description to all of the points. For more options related to points, see Point Defaults under the Points pulldown.
