Set Descriptions By Polylines

This command assigns descriptions to existing section points in an SCT file using plan view polylines. For example, you can enter a description of "EP" and then selection the edge of pavement polyline. For each station, the program calculates the offset of the selected polyline and then sets the description at that offset in the SCT file if there is a section point with the matching offset.
