Create Points - Polyline to Points (P2P):
This command converts any selected polylines into points. It is useful in capturing points for stakeout from polylines
created as offsets or brought in from DXF files. This allows you to react to circumstances in the field by creating points
from polylines, when and where needed. For example, if you wanted to make point numbers out of the lot corners below
on the SW lot, Select Cogo, Create Points, Polylines to Points (or more simply enter P2P at the command line) . Then
pick each desired polyline. The program will avoid making duplicated points on vertices that already have point IDs.
The new points are shown in “large” format, for emphasis.
Create Points - Divide Along Entity (DVS):
This divides a polyline into the number of segments entered. A dialog will allow you enter in the number of segments.
