You might want to first see if you can find a custom lisp program that will do this.

There is one posted here...

Another chainage lisp at....

Might also look at this as posted by the webmaster:

You can try the LGC3 command from the LGC utility (free). See:

Vanilla AutoCAD isn't built to do this.  You would need Civil 3D for a suitable solution.  The closest you will get with AutoCAD alone would be to DIVIDE the polyline, but even that won't get you the annotations.  You'd have to do those manually.

Suppose there is a polyline of 5000 meters. I want chainages at an interval of say 10meters. Autocad should mark small ticks perpendicular to the selected polyline and mark texts as 0.00m, 10.00m, 20.00m..... and so on automatically adjacent to the small ticks.

Could you provide more detail?

What do you want to do, pick a line and have the distance entered automatically by AutoCAD?
