This command, which is step 3 in the Points on Section procedure, labels the tight/clear distances between points and a polyline on the section. Tight points are inside or to the right of the polyline while clear points are outside or to the left of the polyline. The polyline should be drawn in a clockwise direction. The points can be picked on the section or located from a .CRD file with the station and offset data in the description fields as described under Points on Section.
