Drawing a line object using point description in civil 3D

[balengineeringltd]

Dear sir,

How shall I draw  lines into a created surface using raw or full description of ascii file format(COGO)

for example in the imported  file ihave points to describe a road centre line(CL),or edge of the road(ERD),breaklines(BRKL) and want lines represented by the descriptions to be drawed in the surface  so that i can use the lines as guides in profiles design.I didn't want to use point number which are not serially ,and have tried to use point grouping without any success

The attached file could be of good use

That Txt file does not contain descriptions. Also, it the description are not set up properly when collected it will be more difficult. See This and This.

You may be able to separate them into groups and draw lines by group entering G for group. I can't test that right now.

I wrote a lisp to do what I think you need a number of years ago. It would need some updating to work with newer versions, but there is plenty of information on the C3D customization forum that shows how to do that. OLD LISP LINK

Sounds like something I would like to check out. Any idea if this will work in C3D 2016?

Obicad, it should work with a slight change to reflect the correct version. A quick search in this forum should lead you to some posts which show code that will get the C3D application for any version of C3D. I would update this, but just don't have a lot of free time right now.

Thanks for the reply. Can you point me in the direction as to what needs to be altered in the lisp. So far I'm batting 0.000
