SmartDraft Inverse Points is an Autodesk® Civil 3D® command:

Inverse between point objects, point numbers, or Civil 3D Survey database points. Options to an inverse radial from a base point, and inverse along an open or closed path.

Command Line Options

Line: Inverse between two points to get the bearing, distance, and slope.  

ACCW: Inverse an arc using the starting point, radial point, and ending point selected counter-clockwise (CCW) to get the delta, length, radius, tangent, chord, and slope.  

ACW: Inverse an arc using the starting point, radial point, and ending point selected clockwise (CW) to get the delta, length, radius, tangent, chord, and slope.  

A3: Inverse an arc using the starting point, point along arc, and ending point to get the delta, length, radius, tangent, chord, and slope.  

Select: Enter "S" to change to the select points input option.  

Point Number: Enter "P" to change to the entry point numbers input option.

Database: Enter "D" to change to the enter survey point numbers input option.

Available only if a Survey Database is currently open.  Options: Display the Inverse Points Options Dialog

Output

Report Display a dialog box with all the inverse information processed and the inverse information can be saved to a file or printed.  

Command Line Output Example:  

Line:  

Bearing = N89°26'19.38"W, Distance = 26.93', Slope = 4.493%

Running Total = 210.01'

Arc:  

Delta = 110°44'44" (RND 110°44'44"), Radius = 7.16', Length = 13.84'

Tangent = 10.37', Chord = 11.78', Bearing = S34°03'58"E

Slope = 2.240%, Running Total = 223.85'

Note: (RND) is the delta calculated by using the rounded starting and ending radial bearings.
