Title: Help Can't Plot Surface Profile
Post by: davidlaredo on July 13, 2011, 12:45:07 AM

Hi Everybody!
I am new at this great tool, I am trying to get a plot of a surface profile in the working dwg or another file (either way is fine).  I get to the surface profile preview fine; however, when I click Plot nothing happens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
David
I am using
Autocad 2010

Hi!

Are you a registered user to CadTools? Unregistered users can't plot to DWG.

Yes, I am.

I can plot a surface cross-section (see attachment) but no surface profile.


Regards,
David

That's odd!

Could you please provide me with your DWG and surface so I can check what's wrong. You can mail it to me.

The problem was due to huge interval in elevation.
I’ve also added a option to set interval for horizontal lines. With your data  you should use huge values for Major and Minor and also set a value of 10 000 for interval (if you are going to plot horizontal lines) to get a good result.
