Draw breakline by point range

Updated on tcpMDT Leer en español

Draws a 3D polyline in CAD connecting the points whose number falls within the specified range (endpoints inclusive), in ascending order. Point numbers that do not exist within the range are skipped automatically. The operation can be undone with Ctrl+Z.

Prerequisites: The MDT plugin must be loaded and at least two points with numbers within the specified range must exist.

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Default

Description

from_point

integer

Yes

Number of the first point in the range (inclusive).

to_point

integer

Yes

—

Number of the last point in the range (inclusive). Must be ≥ from_point.

layer

No

MDT_MCP

CAD layer where the polyline will be created.

color

integer (1–256)

No

256 (by layer)

ACI color of the polyline.

Result

A 3D polyline created on the specified layer. The assistant returns the number of vertices and the _handle_ of the created CAD entity.

Tip: Ideal when you know the exact range of point numbers that form an alignment (for example, a series of levelling points taken consecutively). To connect points by code, use Draw breakline by code.

Example prompts

You can ask the assistant things like:

  • Draw a breakline with points 100 to 150

  • Connect points 201 to 350 on layer PERFIL

  • Create a 3D polyline with points 500 to 600 and set it to yellow

  • Draw the polyline of points 1 to 50
