This command will compute curve data and draw it in tabular form using the settings specified in Table Defaults. The program computes the curve data from an arc entity, an arc segment of a polyline or from specified points on an arc. The curve data includes radius, length of curve, chord length, chord bearing, tangent and delta or included angle. The current curve table numbers are remembered between drawings. The user is prompted for curve number (default is sequential starting with 1) and the starting point of the table. The curve is labeled with a C#, where # is the sequential curve number. After picking the starting point of the table, the placement point for the other table entries will default to the next position and you can just press Enter unless you want to relocate the table. The Auto Annotate command can also create curve tables. Use the Table Header command to draw the column header of the curve data names.
