information. You can set up Text Label styles to label the template point codes
with offsets and/or elevations.
7 Draw any related label frames around the Section/Section frame. When you
generate a section sheet, the Section/Section frame is adjusted in length and
height based on the size of each section. All of the related label frames adjust in
length with the section/section frame.
8 Save the sheet style.
Drawing a Section/Label Frame
You can add any number of Section/Label frames to a section sheet style.
Section/Label frames are optional, and are only necessary if you want to attach
label styles to the sheets. Unlike the Section/View and Section/Section frames,
they do not control the placement of the cross sections on the page.
The Section/Label frames are also adjusted automatically to fit the size and
dimensions of the cross section. When the Generate Section Sheets command
adjusts the Section/Section frame for the size of the sections it is plotting, it also
adjusts the length or height of the Section/Label frames accordingly. The length
of horizontal frames and the height of vertical frames are adjusted.
NOTE
For an illustration of a Section/Section frame, see Drawing Frames on
Section Sheets in this chapter.
To draw a section/label frame
1 From the Sheet Manager menu, choose Sheet Styles ä Create/Edit Frame.
2 Press ENTER to display the Edit Frame Data dialog box.
3 Select Section as the frame Type.
4 Select Label as the frame Category.
5 Click Pick Origin/Size<<.
6 Draw the Section/Label frame next to, above, or beneath the single
Section/Section frame on the sheet style.
The Generate Section Sheets command replicates the label frames for each
section it plots on the sheet.
7 In the Edit Frame Data dialog box, click the Assign Design Frame button. This
option associates the label frames with the Section/Section frame.
8 Use your pointing device to select the edge of the Section/Section frame. This
associates the label frame with the section.
9 Repeat this process for each Section/Label frame.
10 Attach label styles to the label frame to label cross section data.
11 Save the sheet style.
Drawing a Section/Table Frame
You can add any number of table frames to a section sheet. Section/Table
frames are used like Section/Label frames to label the cross section information.
However, the Section/Table frame is intended for labeling information that is
not specific to a design location, such as cut and fill volumes. The dimensions
of the table frames remain fixed when the section sheets are generated, so you
can draw them in rows and/or columns, like a table.
