When you need to know how to get from “Point A” to “Point B”.
One of the core functions of performing COGO operations is the ability to Inverse Between Points.
(Essentially, calculating the Bearing and Distance between two coordinate locations usually by entering only the point numbers)
Civil 3D has always been able to do this. In fact, it can actually be done several different ways. Unfortunately, the purpose built commands don’t immediately jump out at the end user. As a result, some folks tend to struggle to perform an Inverse operation using pure AutoCAD commands.
In an effort to help drive more awareness around these tools, today’s “Tool for Tuesday” installment focuses on two ways to perform an Inverse Between two Points operation.
These include Civil 3D’s Inquiry Tool and the Survey Command Line Interface.
Check out the video below to see how it’s done.
