I'm wondering if it's possible to create a line in autocad which is created by the median of the two around it. This would help me greatly in creating approximations of contour lines inbwetween those that I have. This is for uni so it doesn't have to be accurate or anything. This sounds like such a handy thing I hope autocad has been clever and thought of it!
not built into ACAD, to my knowledge. It'd be kinda complex because you'd have to specify the conditions for generating the new line - position calculated based upon a normal to the frst, or the second, or some other orientation. Perhaps a civil or landscape package has a subroutine...sorry.
just draw an approximated spline between the contours... it shouldn't take too long, unless you have a thousand contour lines. if it doesn't have to be exact, thats how i would do it.
Autocad help :) Countour inbetweens?
Greetings,

I have used splines for the contours.
Cheers.

not in basic a-cad that I am aware of. this drives me nuts as well. civil engineers that we work with have these capabilities though for sure.
you need Autodesk Envision to do what you ask.
Bollox. Well thanks guys, much appreciated, at least know I can stop hoping. I really wish Autocad would add stuff like this...
I have Mechanical Desktop as well as Archi, don't know if that helps...

I have a lot of contour lines, a LOT of contour lines - my site is in the Swiss mountains!
Will just go manual on this one I spose :(
