viriato79 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Is there any Autodesk Program that does automatically the drawing of a longitudinal profile of a pipeline based on a table information or other font? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 If you have information in an Excel or ascii file it may be possible to create a profile with just a few steps. What do you have - distance and elevation at points along a profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlB Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 You may have to do a little formatting of your data file, to get it in the form of: x1,y1 x2,y2 etc... If you have dat in Excel colums yoyu can combine into 1 column with a formula: =a1&","&a2 In AutoCAD start the "pline" command; when prompted for points copy and paste the coordinate information from the file and the polyline will be drawn through the points. If "pressure" is a separate eleavation to be drawn, you'll need 2 separate polylines, the second one using "pressure" as the y value. I'm sure I did't understand your problem fully so hit me with followup questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
