Stakeout Horizontal
This feature allows you to create points for field staking a
horizontal curve.
After choosing the Horizontal Stakeout menu item, and opening
a coordinate file you will be asked if you want to Save coordinates
[Yes/No] <Y>.
If you respond Yes (or press enter), a new point will be saved to
the coordinate file for each point to be staked along the
curve. No matter how you answer this question, stakeout
information will be generated and displayed.
Enter curve description: Enter a description that will allow you to
identify the curve in the output.
P.C. station <0.000000>: Enter the station for the P.C. of
the curve.
Station interval <0.000000>: Enter an interval for staking
the points along the curve.
Odd stations to be staked (6+34.22 as 634.22) [Done]: Enter the
station of any odd location along the curve to be staked. For
example, you may wish to stake the point on the curve at which a
pipe crosses or the point where the extension of a property line
intersects the curve. You may enter as many odd stations as
required. When done, press <Enter> at the prompt without
entering a new odd station or press D and <Enter>.
Offset from C/L <0.000000>: enter a non-zero value here if
you must stake points offset from the main alignment - for example:
along a curb line, a barrier wall or along a property line.
If the distance is entered as a positive number, the distance will
be added to the radius or staked outside the curve. If the number
entered is negative, it will be subtracted from the radius or
staked inside the curve. To stake the centerline, enter zero.
At the Enter PC point or pick a curve: prompt you can type a point
ID for the P.C. or use the mouse to pick a point or a C&G curve
on the screen.
If you picked a C&G curve in the previous step, you need not
enter the PT point or the radius point so skip the next 2
steps.
Enter PT point: type the point ID for the P.T. or click the point
on the screen.
Enter radius point [cLockwise/ccW]: Use any of the available
methods of specifying a radius point.
Type the radius point: If the curve is in a clockwise direction
from the P.C. to the P.T., enter the point number preceded by a
plus sign, e.g. +18. If the curve is in a counterclockwise
direction from the P.C. to the P.T., the point ID preceded by a
minus sign, e.g. -18.
Pick the radius point with the mouse: If the curve is in a
clockwise direction from the P.C. to the P.T., type an L or a ’+’
and <Enter>, then use the mouse to pick the point on the
screen. If the curve is in a counterclockwise direction from the
P.C. to the P.T., type either a W or a ‘-’ and <Enter>, then
pick the point on the screen.
The report will be printed at the command line and written to the
print file.
The command will repeat until you press <Esc> at the Save
coordinates [Yes/No] <Y>: prompt to end command.
Prompts
Save coordinates [Yes/No]
<Y>: Type "Y" and Enter or just Enter if you wish to
save resulting points to coordinate file. Type "N" and Enter
if not. Press Esc to end command.
Enter curve description:
Enter a description that will allow you to identify the curve in
the output.
P.C. station
<0.000000>: Enter the station for the P.C. of the
curve.
Station interval
<0.000000>: Enter an interval for staking the points
along the curve.
Odd stations to be staked (6+34.22
as 634.22) [Done]: Enter as many "odd" stations to be
staked. Type Enter or "Done" and Enter when all odd stations have
been entered.
Offset from C/L
<0.000000>: If you wish to stake stations not on the
centerline, enter the offset and press Enter or just press Enter to
accept the default offset. Positive offset is outside the radius
and negative is inside.
Enter PC point or pick a
curve: Enter a point ID, pick a point symbol or pick a
C&G arc.
if you did not pick a C&G arc:
Enter PT point: Enter or
pick the PT point.
Enter radius point
[cLockwise/ccW]: Enter "L" or "W" to choose the type of
curve then Enter or pick the radius point. You may also enter
"+" and Enter then enter or pick a point for the radius point of a
clockwise curve or Enter a "-" and enter or pick a point for the
radius point of a counter clockwise curve.
