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.
