Hi,
 
I have to recover centrelines from designed pipes in Autocad. Is there any way to recover them in AC or do I need any other software??

I think there would be a couple of different ways one could recreate the centerline of the curved pipe.  Can you attach a copy of the drawing (just need the pipe) to your next post?

If the curved pipe was created using a spline then I'm not sure how you could derive the centerline of the pipe easily.

Ok. Thanks for info. I think we will do a new model of those pipes. it takes only an hour to do that :)
