Importing breaklines from a point file

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how to import a breakline file that is in the format of points. It looks like this: 2 974970.940,463922.130,2270.69 974929.190,463975.660,2269.75 974890.120,464027.630,2269.65 974838.060,464093.970,2270.01 974779.310,464169.470,2268.69 974732.440,464229.940,2269.23 974693.630,464278.340,2268.63 974643.060,464346.750,2268.68 974590.620,464413.660,2267.83 974573.560,464435.250,2267.1 END 2 I want to be able to have them come in as breakline data, or at least 3d lines or polylines.

Hey Alan; This was in the Help under... Creating a Breakline File Manually [Help text] To create a breakline file manually 1.. Open an ASCII text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad. 2.. Type the file using the following structure: a.. Use the (#) symbol as the first character in a comment line. b.. Use the letters P, S, L, and R to describe the breakline type. These letters stand for Proximity, Standard, Wall Left, and Wall Right. Identify a breakline type for each new breakline. c.. Type the X, Y, and Z coordinates separated by a space. d.. A description for the breakline can follow the first coordinate of the line. e.. By entering in the breakline type letter at the beginning of a line, a new breakline is created. For instance, in the example below an S is placed at the beginning of the 8th line of the file. All the points from this point until the next breakline letter modifier are in one breakline. This breakline is called EOP. 3.. Save the file with an .flt file extension. The following is an example of a breakline file: # Autodesk User Defined Breakline File P1542.258750 179.318779 0.000000 Flow Line 1190.721102 350.527660 0.000000 860.816542 446.044194 0.000000 588.600214 619.055276 0.000000 608.430540 743.406990 0.000000 565.164367 925.429066 0.000000 S1529.639450 179.318779 100.250000 EOP 1188.918348 357.736453 101.420000 1021.998725 330.653391 103.530000 594.008485 610.044279 102.870000 761.574952 744.929530 104.780000 610.233298 754.220180 103.410000 570.572642 923.626865 100.980000 P1542.258750 179.318779 0.000000 Flow Line 1190.721102 350.527660 0.000000 860.816542 446.044194 0.000000 588.600214 619.055276 0.000000 608.430540 743.406990 0.000000 565.164367 925.429066 0.000000 [Help text] -- Don Reichle "King Of Work-Arounds" Barghausen Consulting Engineers Kent, WA USA LDT3 - SP1/CD3 - SP1 On WIN2K SP4 Dell 1.6 Ghz P4 512MB RAM NVIDIA 32MB AGP "Alan Belleau" wrote in message news:41d9c90d_2@newsprd01... > > Does anyone know how to import a breakline file that is in the format of > points.
