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.
