Draw Road Stripes

This command draws polylines for stripe styles defined in Road Stripe Library. After selecting the Stripe Style from the dialog, the program prompts for the horizontal alignment which can be either a centerline file (.CL) or a polyline. Then the polylines for the stripe are drawn.

In the options dialog, the Stripe Style is selected from a list of names defined inthe Road Stripe Library. The Stripe Layer is used for all the stripe polylines that are created. The Additional Styles list can be used for using different stripe styles along the alignment such as for a centerline that switches between double yellow to dashed yellow for a passing zone. The Additional Offsets list allows for drawing several road lines at a time based on offsets from the centerline such as drawing the white lane dashes and outside solid white lines along with the center double yellow lines. The Use Reference Centerline applies for dashed stripe styles that you want to control the dash spacing from the main centerline.


The Load and SaveAs buttons can be used to store and recall the stripe settings to a .RST file for archiving or sharing. The .RST file can also be used in Road Network for drawing the road stripes during that command.
