In this Video Tutorial of Auto-CAD, You have a list of stations (distances from start) and you want to "BREAK" a selected curve multiple times at the listed points.
You can use the #BrkList utility. BrkList can be used as a generalised (non-linear) MEASURE command. The "BrkList" command prompts for a list of stations (distances measured from start) and then performs multiple Breaks on a selected curve in the specified points (stations). It also places point entities at the break points.
The list of stations can be entered either as a comma delimited sorted list - e.g.
100,150.2,324.86,551
or read-in the list from a text file (each station on a single line) which can be exported e.g. as a #csvfilefromExcel (a result of a calculation).
