Finding the command for Drawing Profile Tangents

[dwcouch123]

I am trying to work a routine that will draw tangents with or without curve in a profile by calling the command in the Toolbar icon to "Draw Tangents" button that is on the Profile Layout Tools toolbar.  I can't seem to locate the command that I could execute at the comand line or in LISP.  Where can I find a complete list of C3D commands to reference??

Hi,

Do you mean you are looking for the command which creates Tangent like the tool in "Profile Layout Tools" (Command : _AeccCreateProfileLayout) and there you have various options under Tangents ?

I don't see tools in "Profile Layout Tools" have equivalent command line version, but most of these functionalities are exposed in API.

In this case you could use -

ProfileEntityCollection.AddFixedTangent Method in .NET API

public ProfileTangent AddFixedTangent(
Point2d startPoint,
Point2d endPoint
)

Does it help ?

Thanks,

Thank you.  I may end up using that, but for now, I found the "Sample" Create Profile VB program that ships with Acad.  I think I can modify this to do what I want.
