Instructions

On the Design menu, point to Construction Points, and then click Distance.

Select the line upon which you want to create construction points. Once selected, the line is then highlighted.

The following panel is then displayed.

Enter, in world units, the required distance between the construction points. World units (i.e. metres, yards or feet) are set in the project specification file (.dg1).

Click OK.

The points are then inserted onto the line. The distance is measured from the start of the line, i.e. the first point digitised when creating the line.

You will then be asked whether or not you want to keep the construction points. Retain keeps the points and you are prompted to select another line. Reject exits the option without inserting the points.
