Fence Polylines

There are three commands for managing fence polylines. The fence polylines are used by the Fence Diagram command as the horizontal alignment. You can run Fence Diagram without pre-defined fence polylines and pick the alignment polyline on-the-fly. One advantage with using fence polylines is that you can specify the alignment polyline once and then more easily select the fence polyline in Fence Diagram which is useful if you run Fence Diagram multiple times for the same alignment. Another advantage is that you can use fence polylines to run Fence Diagram on multiple alignments at the same time.

The fence polyline commands are Tag, Untag and Identify. The Tag Fence Polylines command prompts you to pick a polyline and give it a name. This polyline is then flagged as a fence polyline. The Untag Fence Polylines command removes the tags from the selected polylines. The Identify Fence Polylines command reports the name of the fence polyline. For Identify, you can either report the names for the individually picked polylines or have the program search the whole drawing and report the locations and names for any fence polylines.
