Dear Sir,

Augment Cadtools with

1. 2D Curves Menu (Horizontal - Circular, Transition (Spiral); Vertical - Parabolic)).

2. In Lines - To export the Polyline Co-ordinates to excel of 2/3d polyline at fixed station interval. (input needed Start Station, select 3d poly line etc.)

Thanks & Rgds

Hi!

Sorry, but there will not be any "real alignments in CadTools this is due complexity. CadTools will never be a "Full Blown" Civil software. For these tasks you should use a more sophisticated software.

To export coordinates at stations check the "Slope and Roadsign command. In the bottom of the form you have checkbox "Save intersections to tmp-file. For 2D lines this generates all coordinates you need.
For 3D lines you have the "Transverse 3D lines between 3D polylines" command it works in a similar way and also have the "Save to tmp-file option"

Booth commands need a extra polyline to target, you can draw a single polyline that extends the original polyline and use that one as a target polyline. For more information please read the helpfile.

I'll consider a "Save to tmp-file" in the Stationing command.

Dear Lars,

Thank You Lars.

I have checked "Slope and Roadsign" & "Transverse 3D lines between 3D polylines" command works to export coordinates at station points.

"Save to tmp-file" in the Stationing command will be more added advantage.

With Warm Regards

"Save to tmp-file" in the Stationing command will be included in next update
