Based on the article by Matt Kolberg posted at Civil3d.com today, I finished up a little lisp that I started early last year (prior to jumping on the NET bandwagon). It does exactly what Matt describes, but all within the drawing editor. All the user need do to connect Points with identical descriptions, in the order of the point numbers, is select any point whose description they wish to match and Voila! a 3dPolyline is drawn connecting those points. Not as fancy as Figures/Autolinework when importing points, but it works for misc. shots which weren't coded properly for use with the other method.
Load the lisp, command name is CONNECTPTS
Someday soon I'll probably port this for use in the infamous SincPac3D, but this is all I had time for today. Thanks to Matt for reminding me of this unfinished routine. I could have used it recently to save quite a bit of time.
Enjoy!
