Example: Intersection
The Intersection Label Location option positions the label in the frame based on
the Design Data Points intersection with the frame. If you were to draw a line
from the design point you are labeling, perpendicular to the frame, the line
would intersect the frame at the intersection label location.
In the following example of the Intersection setting, the beginning of the
vertical curve is the Design Data Point. The label is placed in the frame at the
location where this point intersects with the frame beneath the viewport, as
shown:
Intersection setting
For a horizontal label frame that is positioned below the viewport, the label is
placed on the frame directly below the design point. For a vertical label frame
that is positioned on the side of the viewport, the label is placed on the frame
directly across from the design point.
You cannot use the Intersection option with all types of styles. Use this option
for styles that have an exact location on the design such as the beginning or
end of horizontal and vertical entities or section point codes.
The Design Data Point option you selected also determines which Label
Locations should be used. For example, with an existing ground profile
elevation style, if the Design Data Point option is set to Station, then you would
need to use one of the incremental options. However, if the Design Data Point
is set to Grade Break, then you would want to use the Intersection option.
