I??m sure most of you know this function by now, however, Im putting this out there with the hopes someone might be out of the loop. It saved me at least a full day in the office so figured I??d post it on here. If you want a quick and simple way to create points at certain intervals along a baseline, follow the steps below.

Is that like the DIVIDE command, but probably more powerful?
I feel sorry for the guy who has to stake that. That is so flat water will evaporate long before it ever flows.
Closer to MEASURE than DIVIDE, but it's specifically for C3D alignments, can generate points left or right of the feature, and doesn't have to be a standard interval. I haven't used it in a while, but it is killer for generating points from ROW/road plansets. Especially if you can extract the station/offset text from the PDFs to drop into Excel...
I'm a Carlson SurvCad user and they have a routine in Cogo where you can interval along an entity and set your point stationing along the baseline.?ÿ I typically use 50' along the tangents and 25' stations along longer curves, draw my lines in my design drawing or an engineering drawing I reference in, in the direction I want the points to go, and let the software do the rest.?ÿ If you are staking curbing, or things of the like, you can create a centerline profile, input vertical curve info with PVC PVI and PVT, then offset the centerline and adjust it up for your curb reveal and you saved yourself a ton of work on larger jobs.?ÿ It will calculate hundreds of points in seconds.

@lurker haha I just put some random numbers in for visual purposes
