This command plots a grid and labels the grid lines with stations and elevations. Profile grids can also be plotted along with the profile when using the command Draw Profile. Use this command to draw only the grid. The following dialog box appears:
Direction: Choose grid direction, either left to right or
right
to left.
Station Text Orientation: Specify whether the station text
should
be plotted horizontal or vertical.
Axis Text Only: When checked, grid lines are not drawn.
Ticks and Axis Text: When checked, one horizontal and vertical
grid line as well as the annotations will be drawn.
Offset Horizontal Axis Annotation: When checked, additional
space
is added between the bottom horizontal grid line and the station labels
in order to leave room for Horizontal Axis Elevations and sewer profile
annotations.
Text Size Scaler: This sets the size of text used for
annotation.
This value is multiplied by the horizontal scale to obtain actual text
size.
Index Grid Line Layer: Specify the layer name for index grid
lines.
Grid Text Layer: Specify the layer name for text annotation
along
the horizontal and vertical axis.
Intermediate Grid Layer: Specify the layer name for
intermediate
grid lines.
Horizontal Scale: This sets the horizontal scale for the profile
grid.
Vertical Scale: This scale sets the vertical exaggeration of the
profile grid.
Horiz. Text Interval: This sets the spacing of the stationing
text
that appears along the horizontal axis. If you use a large Text
Size
Scaler such as 0.2 in English units, it is best to set the horizontal
text
interval to twice the horizontal scale, so that the larger text will
not
overlap along the horizontal axis.
Vert. Text Interval: This sets the spacing of the elevation text
that appears along the vertical axes.
Horiz. Grid Interval: This sets the spacing of the grids that
run vertically from the horizontal scale.
Vert. Grid Interval: This sets the spacing of the grids that run
horizontally between the vertical axes on the left and right side of
the
profile.
Scan File to Set: Prompts to select a profile (.PRO) file which
it reads to set the values for starting and ending stations and
elevations.
