Title: Auto Click with Nearest
Post by: MSTG007 on January 28, 2016, 08:40:25 AM

If I have a Survey Xref that I need to trace a line that has a lot of vertexes. I want to be able to click at a starting point then follow the line with my cursor where it auto snaps (clicks) until I select the last point where it ends.

or  let me ask,  is this

A) a contour line

B) a figure  line?


there might be a best way to get that object in your current file depending on what it is?

for contour line  >>>  use EXTRACT object

for Figure  >>> Insert to current file from survey toolspace

It is not a Feature Line. Its not a contour. Its usually existing line work I have to trace and place on its own layer. So I thought I might be able to select the layer (demo) that I want, then trace over the curb or whatever I want. Usually when we trace it, we CLICK each ENDPOINT. A lot of CLICKS... Is it lazy to click less?

linework...AKA  it should be a survey FIGURE and then you would NEVER have to trace again


make use of the survey toolspace....

create figure from object command...

then the figure(s) is portable
