Lines and Curves

Topics in this section

• Creating Lines

  You can use the AutoCAD Civil 3D line creation commands to draft line geometry prior to defining it as alignments or parcels, for example.

• Creating Curves

  Use the curve commands to draft curve geometry prior to defining it as alignments or parcels.

• Creating Entities by Best Fit

  Use the Best Fit Entities commands to use a series of AutoCAD Civil 3D points, AutoCAD points, existing entities, or clicks on screen as a basis to create AutoCAD lines, arcs, and parabolas.

• Attaching Multiple Lines or Curves to Existing Objects

  The Attach Multiple command draws multiple lines and curves from the end of an existing line or arc.

• Calculating Curve Parameters

  The Curve Calculator determines curve parameters based on input.

• Labeling Lines, Curves, and Polylines

  You can label individual line and curve segments, one at a time, or multiple segments at once by using specified line and curve label styles.

• Adding Line/Curve Tables

  Use line/curve tables to consolidate information about the line and arc segments in your drawing.

• Renumbering Table Tags

  Use the renumbering command to renumber table tags before creating tables.
