mathematical notation.
Example: Using the TRUNC Function the formula
TRUNC(FG Center Line|V Tangent Length)
converts the Finish Ground Center Line Tangent Length to a whole integer. For
example, 900.02 becomes 900.
Example: How to Convert Metric Units to Imperial Units in a

This example explains how to create a text label for labeling the tangent length
of an alignment for a metric project with both metric and imperial units.
To convert metric units to imperial units
1 From the Sheet Manager menu, choose Sheet Styles ä Text Label to display the
Select Style dialog box.
2 Type the name of the new style, Alignment - Tangent Length, in the Style Name
edit box.
3 Click the Edit button.
4 Use the Text Label Properties dialog box to specify the text properties.
5 Under Text Label Format, click the Edit button to display the Edit Text Format
dialog box.
6 Under Text Format Data, set the Code Category to Alignment and the Code to
Tangent Length.
7 Click the Add Code to Text Format button. The code defaults to Tangent Start
Station.
8 Change the default back to Tangent Length before adding the code to the
formula.
