This command will label the station and offset of a point
relative to a centerline. A polyline that represents the centerline or
a centerline (.CL) file is required before using this command.
The points to label can either be picked on screen or specified
by point number. As the crosshairs are moved, the station and
offset of the current position are displayed in real-time in a small
window (see example). This command starts with the Label
Station-Offset Settings dialog.
Label Options: Specify whether to label the text only or add the label to the existing point description.
Label Position: Specify if the program should
automatically position the label with a leader, let the user pick the
location, or use no leader.
Label Alignment:
Specify whether the labels should be Horizontal on the screen, Parallel
to the Centerline, Perpendicualr to the Centerline, or user-specified
by Picking.
Type of Curve: Specify whether the centerline is for a roadway or railroad.
Layer Name: Specify the layer name for the labels.
Text Size Scaler: Determines the size of the labels. This value multiplied by the horizontal scale setting in Drawing Setup results in the size of the label. For example, if the horizontal scale is set to 100 and the text size scaler is set to 0.10, the labels will be 10 units.
Text Offset Scaler: Determines the text offset. This value works the same way as the Text Size Scaler.
Beginning Station: Specify the beginning station of the centerline. The polyline should be drawn in the order of increasing stations. Not available when you use a centerline (.CL) file to define the centerline.
Max Offset to Calc: Specify the maximum offset to calculate.
Station Decimals: Specify the display precision for the
station text.
Offset Decimals: Specify the display precision for the offset
text.
Station Prefix: Specify an optional prefix for the station text.
Station Suffix: Specify an optional suffix for the station text.
Offset Prefix/Suffix: Specify an optional prefix and/or suffix for each offset.
Station Label: Choose between Full label (1+35.42), Partial label (+35.42) or no station label.
Offset Label: Choose between Fill label (L15.35), partial
label (15.35) or no offset label.
Flip Text for Twist Screen:
With this option checked, the text will be flipped as necessary to
accomodate the use of Twist Screen.
Label Both Station-Offset On Same
Line: With this option checked, the station and offset label
will be drawn on the same line.e e all
Station Type: Specify the stationing format to use.
Centerline By: Specify whether to define the centerline by picking a polyline in the drawing or selecting a centerline (.CL) file.
