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. The Create Points At Endpoints
option locates points at the starting and ending points of the
entity. When Create Point at Vertices is checked, points will also
be located at each vertex 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).
There is an option in this 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.
