    Unhappy Specific point on alignment

    If I have a 2000' alignment, and I want to find exactly where station 14+25.67 is, how do I do that? How do you find where a point is on an alignment based solely on stationing? Seems like it should be simple to do, but it escapes me right now. Thanks!

    Default Re: Specific point on alignment

    The transparent command 'SO can be used to find the point at a specific station and offset. So to add a basic Acad Point to the drawing:


    Command: POINT

    Current point modes: PDMODE=0 PDSIZE=0.00
    Specify a point: 'so


    >>Select alignment:
    >>Specify station along alignment: 215.92

    >>Specify station offset: 0

    Resuming POINT command.
    Specify a point:
