Hi,

usually i do this by draw this object at slope angle then i use 3DARRAY (Rectangular) command.

draw the object that you want to array.
make your UCSICON at the same slope level by using UCS command the select Face option.
start 3DARRAY command and take care about positive and negative values since Positive values generate the array along the positive X, Y, and Z axes. Negative values generate the array along the negative X, Y, and Z axes.
your success depend on the values that you enter.

Good Luck..

This is Rectangular array. I want path array,

I have curves and arcs. I would like to array an object on them.

Hi,

in your first Post >> How to 3d path array an object with a specific slope << and now >> I have curves and arcs << !!!

>> This is Rectangular array. I want path array, << to get that try to use ARRAYPATH command.

Hi @Anonymous,

Can you give me more details on what you are trying to create? I suspect your issue is in drawing the path and not the array part of this.

Without any more information, I suggest using construction lines/points to assist you in laying out your 3D curved path.

Hi Mr John.Vellek

i am very Sorry For Late Reply.

Actually I was trying to Calculate the Gradient and Camber Levels on Road.

So i was thinking that if i can path array, my points to selected Center line of road, with specific Slope, then i can get levels on 3 meters interval.

so the problem was solved in Civil 3d program

please check this post. is it possible in AutoCAD?

Hi @Anonymous,

This is a tricky one. While I think you can probably do this in AutoCAD it would be rather tedious. Can you attach a simple drawing that illustrates your road? If so, I will take a look for you. I suspect it might be better thought to move this thread to the Customization forum to see if someone has a LISP routine that can do this.
