Equal Space Points
Used to insert a specified number of points, points at a defined interval, or a combination of both.
You can access this tool from the following:
The Equal Space Points tool inserts a specified number of points, points at a defined interval, or a combination of both. The points can be placed between two points or along an element and optional offset.
The tool places cells or text based on a feature definition or MicroStation points (zero length line) in the active MicroStation symbology if no feature definition is used.
The point can be placed in 2-D (X,Y) or 3-D (X,Y, elevation) in both 2D and 3D model views.
Placement Methods
The two placement methods determine the input prompts. These methods are:
Between Points
Spacing
Along Element
The points are placed along the element (or an optional offset), therefore a MicroStation or civil horizontal element is needed.
Heads-up Prompt | Option |
---|---|
Spacing |
Number of Points - specify the number of points which are placed equidistant apart. Interval - points are placed at the specified value. Even - points are placed at even stationing. Max Interval - points are placed at entered interval. |
Offset |
Optionally, points are placed at an offset, i.e., the element is copied parallel at the distance (positive to the right, negative to the left) and that's where the points are placed. |
Manipulators
There are no graphic manipulators for equal spaced points.
Project Explorer and Properties
The point rule data is also accessible in the properties of the element.
