Within an active Figure, where (BEG <Figure name>) has been invoked, you can enter a figure command to specify subsequent points to define multiple points on a curve.
After the points on the curve have been defined, you can enter a command to end the multi-point curve and subsequent points will define line segments. The figure object created from the multi-point curve contains contiguous arc segments for each multi-point curve range.
- In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click a named network
Survey Command Window.
- At the Command line, enter:
BEGIN [figure]
- With the BEGIN command active, enter:
MCS
The next points you enter will define the points on the curve.
- Enter MCE to end the curve on the figure. Entering MCE does not end the figure. Enter END to end the active figure or enter BEGIN to start a new figure.
