Civil Accudraw

Civil Accu Draw performs many of the same functions as MicroStation AccuDraw but has greatly expanded capabilities for the civil designer products using GEOPAK, InRoads or MX. It allows the user to define a point location at any stage of any placement tool (MicroStation or other civil applications) and accepts input that results in more sophisticated point locations.

Note: To learn more about the Civil Accudraw refer to the MicroStation Working with AccuDrawhelp topic.

Benefits of Civil Accu Draw- There are many benefits to using Civil Accu Draw.

It extends the drafting power of MicroStation by providing Civil point location methodologies in all the MicroStation and Civil commands. For example, a user will be able to place a cell at offset using the normal place cell but invoke Civil AccuDraw to enter the station and offset.
It will eliminate the need to create temporary construction geometries just to perform more complex point locations. For example, to place a line at a given distance from 2 points a user would need to draw 2 circles at each point with the desired offset as the radius of each station and then place a line tangent to these circles and finally delete the unwanted circles. Civil Accu Draw provides a Distance from Point snap where the point can be identified, the offset entered, and the data point applied to the construction.
