Hi all,I'm a bit new to using microstation and was wondering if there was a tool to export coordinates every e.g. 1 metre along a line element.The normal "Export Coordinates" tool will export the coordinates of the line at the start and end points.Is there an automatic method to export coordinates at certain increments along a line element?Thanks for the help in advance!
Regards,
Jacky
MicroStation does not have a specific tool to perform this whole operation but you could use the tool CONSTRUCT ARRAY with the method ALONG PATH to place points at a distance along your element. You can then used the Export Coordinates tool to extract these points to a file.

This unusual task is a candidate for a VBA project. Does your team have programming capability?

Hey Jon,Yes I am doing this project in VBA. Just needed a way to extract some specific coordinates, unless there is a way to do this purely through VBA? At the moment I am just manually exporting coordinates and working with them from there.Regards
Thanks Andrew!This works fine
