GUYS GUYS GUYS!! WRONG ANSWERS!! :ugly: You cannot contour using offsets and the code I see here. You would get lines not contours. Proper contouring CANNOT be done in plain jane AutoCad. PERIOD. As stated above you need Carlson (and it SUX!!) or at least the Survey Pack from AutoDesk.
When ever I see lisp routines posted here, I'm SORRY, but that has to come from someone that has no clue as to the rules of contouring. The contours MUST be built on a surface (TIN file) and then they will have to be edited, because the package will be showing ONE possible result out of 27 possibilities.
i'm PROUD that everyone thinks that what I do is so easy, :pissed: but most of y'all truely don't have a clue. I'm not trying to chap anyone off, but you are wrong on this one. (I've been doing this mess for 40 years now and I know of what I speak.)
And that sample file is not the coordinate file or RAW or RW5 file.I have never seen anything like that before. It won't work with any of the above packages.
