cordgrass Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 How's this? how did you do that? (what commands) i dont know how to put the values for each point and intersection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADMASTER1128 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 All I did was draw a couple of lines (L), and then 2 lines of text(T). Centered the text over the line to make it look like the top line is underlined. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centered the text over the line to make it look like the top line is underlined. Make sense? i dont really want the text i need to enter the acutual N/E postion. the reason i am doing this is that have another point to plot on this then tie it to the endpoints.

cordgrass Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 i want to plot the point @ N180.736 E101.469 and see where it falls near the two lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADMASTER1128 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 OK I am confused. I dont get what you are asking for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CADMASTER1128 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I didn't use coordinates. What version of CAD are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanjt Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 either start the point command and type in your coordinates as E,N (remember, easting is the X). or you can execute the line command and type in E,N for your first point then you can type in your bearing distance @25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 You are using coordinates (Northing before Easting) in the reverse AutoCAD format. Surveying people commonly use Easting before Northing, and the AutoCAD coordinate system happens to favour that (x = Easting and y = Northing). Knowing that, you can input your coordinates the way that AutoCAD will understand them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
