How to produce contours in Autocad14?

[ducboard]

I have inheritted a 1985 digital theodolite which recordes position and height of each reading in the terain to be surveyd, which I then convert to an Autocad .dwg using an inhereted PC with Autocad14.

The result is a drawing with crosses to show the plan position of each reading and it's height above sea level.

From this information I would like to produce contour lines across the site.

Never visited a site like this before - please con some kind soul help me?

Thanks Ducboard .

PS is this what is meant by a thread??

AutoCAD14 by itself cannot produce contours.

 

Have a look in the folders in your inherited PC and see if you can find a programme called Soft Desk. This is a programme that can make contours.

As eldon mentioned, there's no way to create contours from survey data with vanilla Acad, other than manually drawing them.

 

This may help

Unfortunately there is no Soft Desk programme At least I now know I cannot get contours in Acad14.

Thanks for your help.

From my previous question it appears aI canot produce contours in AutoCAD14 , but is it possible in DoubleCAD v2?

I appear to have no buddies or profile - as a newcomer I must admit to having difficulty in finding out what I should be doing on to rectify this!

Thanks

DoubleCAD is a lightweight CAD program, similar to Autocad LT. So no, DoubleCAD cannot generate contours.

 

If you want to do Civil work, generating contours and such, then you should be using a program like Civil3D.

 

I have merged your two threads together, since they are both regarding the same issue. Starting new threads, talking about issues discussed in a previous thread, just confuses everyone because no one knows what you're talking about. Just stay in one thread until your issue is resolved.
