Points where Lines intersect
Posted 07/04/08 by Ove Cervin
Hello everyone
Last week we got the question if it is possible to create Points where Lines intersect with each other.
After some thinking we came up with this solution, and it is possible right out of the box.
This might be used for several reasons. You might want to create COGOs or just to get Points for Surface creation etc.
If we use the Map command, "Drawing Cleanup" we can get markers where Lines intersect.
This is the way to do it:
- Start the command "_mapclean"
- Use "Select all" (or select manually, a Layer etc)
- For Cleanup Actions, select "Break Crossing Objects"
- In the same dialog, select "Interactive" at the bottom.
- For Cleanup Methods, select "Modify original objects"
- For Error Markers, select "Maintain markers when command ends" (Necessary!!). Choose a symbol.
- After Finish, you get this dialog. Don't miss to choose "Mark All"...
- ...and in the end you get a series of Blocks presented where the Lines intersect.
...and as you can see they are Blocks...
I guess similar methods using MapCleanup might help also in other cases.
Good luck cleaning! Cheers // Ove
