Clear this check box to draw the frame with a horizontal orientation. A
typical horizontal frame would be one below a profile that is used to label
the profile stationing.

Pick Origin/Size<<: Click this button to position the frame on the sheet.
When you click this button, the dialog box closes and you are prompted to
pick the lower left (origin) point and then the upper right point of the frame.
After picking the points, the dialog box returns to the screen. If necessary,
you can change the height and width by entering the new dimensions in the
Width and Height edit boxes.
n
Draw Frame<: When you have finished setting the frame parameters, click
the Draw Frame< button. The frame is drawn on the specified layer. If the
frame already exists in the drawing, then it is removed, and then redrawn. If
the frame is not drawn in the right location, then use the Pick Origin/Size<<
button to select a new origin point and/or size, and select the Draw Frame<
button again.
7 Under Frame Style/Label Data, you must select the type and category for the
frame. The type and category determine what the frame contains:
n
The frame Type determines whether the frame contains plan, profile, or
section information.
n
The frame Category determines whether the frame contains labels, a view of
the design elements, a section, or a table:
Label: Select the Label option if the frame is to contain labels. This is for
frames that are used to label information in either a row or column.
Typically these are the frames above, below, left or right of the viewports or
view frames, and are typically used to label information such as profile
stations and elevations.
View: Select the View option if the frame surrounds a viewport or is
otherwise placed inside of a viewport. The View option is also used for
section sheets to define the area on the sheet where the sections are plotted.
The View option is often used to label information at the design locations,
such as vertical tangent grades or pipe information, but this option can also
be used like a label frame to position labels along the top, middle, or bottom
of the frame.
Table: Use the Table option for section sheets only. Use this option for
frames on a section sheet that contain information that is not design
location-specific, such as cut and fill volumes.
Section: Use the Section option if the frame is to contain a cross section.
This option is used to define the section view and is the equivalent of using
viewports for plan and profile. The size of this frame adjusts automatically to
the size of each plotted section. A section sheet style should only have one
of these section frames; a copy is made for each section that fits on the sheet
when the sheets are generated.
8 Under Attached Labels, you can attach labels and grids to the frame.
