circles draw

Jul 21, 2006 2 Replies

Hi, can anyone help me, please?



I'm using AutoCad 2002. I have to draw a circular sample plot with many small circles (that represents trees in circular plot in forest). I have these data:



plot radius: 30m tree1: distance from center of plot: 6,8m tree diameter: 0,357m azimuth (from center of plot): 10 degrees tree2:... tree3... . . . . Data are in Excel file. What is the fastest way to draw all this (there are a plenty of plots and trees)?



I hope you will understand. Thanx, ki


draw a circle at the center of the plot & copy (multiple) , select center of circle as base point & type @,357

HiHo; If the distance, tree diameter and azimuth are different for each tree, then a script might be a solution. I used to use a block for deciduous and another for conifer drawn at one unit. Then "insert" and scale at the various coordinates.
