Joining Civil Points with linework - stringing based on raw descriptions
Version 25 now has strings which is great but there is no automation to join civil points based on attributes.
Does anybody have experience with extracting attributes from civil points for use in a LISP routine that can join points together based on common raw descriptions and ordered by point number?
I'm essentially trying to string civil points based on survey codes from an imported csv file. with headings Pt#, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Raw Description.
I'm getting stuck with identifying and extracting the attributes..
if anybody has had experience with this it would be great to hear from you.
Thanks

Bricscad civil enhancement still has some catching up to do compared to say CIV3D. I would suggest you have a look at Civil Site Design it runs on top of Bricscad and has way more ability that just stringing. It has Road design, Drainage and Sewerage, Grading tools.
If your looking for more survey style functions same company has Stringer.
You could spend a lot of time coding to do string points, it is a bit more complex than you just made out, as an ex Civil software rep. The software allowed multi coding in the descriptions like 01F02F is a junction of 2 fence lines, all descriptions with 01F would be joined and 01F02F is the start point for all 02F. For trees can do spread and trunk TR6*6 this would be a spread of 6m with a trunk 600mm, we had a dynamic tree block so updated the blocks set up by import function, so showed correct spread and trunk size. Arc start and end based on 3 points and so on.
The older software allowed string number as prefix or suffix and the contour flag.
Just a comment if you get stringing wrong you get a nice bowl of spaghetti.
