KJB Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 If you have a Civil 3D point then under Prospector select Points and right-click on the point number and select either "Zoom to" or "Pan to". I always use "Pan to". You can also create Civil 3D points from AutoCAD entities and in the Prospector sort the point list by Northing or Easting by left clicking on Northing or Easting then use the "Pan to" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanjt Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 True, except it's a pain to go the the prospector, go to the points tab, scroll through the list of points to find the one you want just to right-click and tell it to zoom to that particular point. The LISP in my link will save you some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Renderman, you should be able to do the same in LDT. But I forget the steps. You can also use the built-in ZOOM command. Select C for Center and type in the coords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select C for Center and type in the coords. Straight out of my old LDD macros: ;; zoom to point (defun c:ZZ (/) (cr_mnl) (cg_zoompt) (princ)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 You can also use the built-in ZOOM command. Select C for Center and type in the coords. Instead of: (defun c:FOO () (command "._zoom" "_center" pause)) Why not use the good ole'fashioned ZC command (LDT)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yeah, your right and cadeddie82 is using Civil 3D 2009. I just tested it in 2010 and ZC works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrmurphy81 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Just draw a line from the coordinates you are looking for to 0,0. Then just zoom into the end of the line that's not 0,0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
