Changing the Section Layout Settings for
Plotting Cross Sections
To change the section layout settings for plotting cross sections
1 From the Cross Sections menu, choose Section Plot ä Settings to display the
Cross Section Plotting Settings dialog box.
2 Click Section Layout to display the Section Layout dialog box.
3 Use the increment edit boxes to adjust the increments for inserting the cross
sections on the drawing.
The four increments available affect the cross section grid that is overlaid on the
cross section. Enter the following increments in drawing units:
n
Offset incr: Enter the distance between the vertical lines on the grid.
n
Elevation incr: Enter the distance between the horizontal lines on the grid.
n
Offset lbl incr: Enter the label increment. This increment determines which
offset grid lines to label. If you set the label increment to one (1), then every
grid line is labeled. If you set the label increment to 2, then every other line
is labeled.
n
Elevation lbl incr: Enter the label increment. This increment determines
which elevation grid lines to label. If you set the label increment to one (1),
then every grid line is labeled. If you set the label increment to 2, then every
other line is labeled.
4 Use the precision edit boxes to control the precision used for the labels placed
on the cross section:
n
Offset prec: Enter the precision for labeling the cross section offset grid lines.
n
Elevation prec: Enter the precision for labeling the cross section elevation
grid lines.
n
FG lbl prec: Enter the precision of the actual finished ground centerline
elevation label text.
n
EG lbl prec: Enter the precision of the actual existing ground centerline
elevation label text.
NOTE
The precisions you enter in the FG lbl prec and EG lbl prec edit boxes do
not affect the calculations used by the commands. All calculations use the
highest internal precision.
