Using the Inquiry Tool on AutoCAD Civil 3D

Most of the time, you’ll be the one providing the information for a drawing. Sometimes, however, you need your drawing to tell you something. That’s where the Inquiry Tool comes in. The Inquiry Tool is a separate window whose sole purpose is to give you information about things in the drawing. There is a long list of drawing items from which to choose, and beneath each item is a list of things that you can ask about (see figure).

Quick Tips
You may need to zoom in to accurately pick the end of the line.

2. Under Select An Inquiry Type, select Point  »  Point Inverse.
3. When prompted to specify the first point, hold down the Shift key, right-click, and select Endpoint on the contextual menu that appears.
4. Click the southwestern endpoint of the line you drew earlier.
5. Use the Shift+right-click combination again to select Endpoint, and then click the opposite end of the line for the second point.
6. Scroll down to the Direction and Horizontal Distance values in the Inquiry Tool window.
Note that they show the same bearing and distance that you entered earlier.
