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"

I'm still using Land Desktop, so I was unaware of the built in options, so thanks for the info KJB. :wink:

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.

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.

Straight out of my old LDD macros:

;; zoom to point
(defun c:ZZ (/) (cr_mnl) (cg_zoompt) (princ))

Instead of:

 

(defun c:FOO ()
 (command "._zoom" "_center" pause))

 

 

Why not use the good ole'fashioned ZC command (LDT)?
