Expert: - 7/26/2006


Question
I have the road map between four provinces in autocad format in 1:1 scal and it is not a straight line but consists of many curvs and changing the direction in each km.
now I am to find the lenght of the road in a simple way.

Answer
Ahmad:
If the line was created as a 2 dimensional line and is made up of line segments or polyline segments and arcs, and if the endpoints coincide, are not broken and do not overlap, the command PEDIT can join them into one object.  Susbsequently, the new polyline can be listed with the LIST command and AutoCAD will report its length.

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
