Dimensioning PLINE


Recommended Posts

Is there anyway to dimension a pline that has multiple segments (eg. arcs, lines) without having to xplode the pline? For example I need to find the distance of 2 points that lie along the pline.

Select a pline -> cliques right button of the mouse-> Properties-> Geometry-> Length

 

I do realize thats what you do to find the entire length of the pline, but thats not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to find a distance of measure between 2 points ALONG a pline, neither of which reside on the endpoints of the pline.

If you were drawing the pline you could start and stop the segments and those endpoints remain even if they are all part of a larger line.

 

If not, then draw lines over the pline? They could be your little secret.

You can add points to the PLINE after the fact by doing a PEDIT, select your line, then EDIT VERTEX. Use NEXT and PREVIOUS to move along to existing points in the pline, then INSERT a point. Once the point is on the PLINE, dimension lines should snap to it.
