### Create AutoCAD polylines from line table data
This tool allows the user to create a command file from line table data.
The command file can then be processed to create AutoCAD LW polylines.
A typical line table looks like this ...
As a line table may contain many dozens of lines it can be error prone to enter
the line and curve data interactively. The command file approach has a few advantages.
* Command files can be easily checked against the original line table data
* Command file processing lists derived segment values and flags non-tangent curves
* Use of polylines ensures all segments are contiguous
### Command language
Each line of a command file describes one polyline segment or auxiliary operation.
Blank lines and lines starting with a hash (#) are ignored as comments.
A list of polylines and a points list are maintained as the command file
is processed. New segments are added to the end of the current polyline,
i.e. the last polyline in the list of polylines. Each non-comment line consists a
command (case-insensitive) followed by zero or more parameters separated by space.
### Commands
`BEGIN `
`BEGIN `
Start a new polyline at the specified point or coordinates.
`POINT LAST `
`POINT `
Save the last ployline endpoint or specified coordinates in the points list.
`` is case insensitive and can contain no spaces. The `` is optional.
` `
Add a line segment. `` is 1=NE, 2=SE, 3=SW, 4=NW.
`` is in Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DD.MMSS).
` `
Add a curve tangent to previous segment. `` is L=Left, R=Right.
`` is in Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DDD.MMSS).
` `
Add a non-tangent curve segment. Radial ``/`` is from BC to RP.
` `
Add a line segment using a deflection angle. `` is DL=Left, DR=Right.
`` is in Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DDD.MMSS).
`BRANCH` - Start a new polyline from the endpoint of the current polyline.
`RESUME` - Resume with the polyline prior to last `BRANCH`.
`UNDO` - Remove the last segment from the current polyline.
`CLOSE ` - Calculate closure from endpoint of current polyline to specified point.
### Listing
Processing of the line data produces a listing showing commands and
derived line and curve data. Non-tangent segments following a curve are flagged.
A PNEZD list of points is included at the bottom of the listing.
### Example
See `linedata-demo.txt` and parcel map `PM1241` in the `data` directory for an example.
