ALIGNMENTS WITH ODD BEGINNING STATIONS :
|
Input Data |
Description |
Alt. |
Default |
|
OS |
Option to specify reference interval from which
intervals are measured (default OFF) |
'' |
000 |
|
RIN |
Reference Interval |
PV |
500 |
NOTE: Annotation will occur at a
station only if that station minus the Reference
interval is a multiple of the annotation intervals
(i.e. EIN, MIN, MINM). Because of this calculation the
annotation interval should be specified to a whole
number (i.e 50, 100, 500).
EX Prob: Begin station = 9+66; station annotation =
10+75, 11+75, 12+75, etc.
With OS='', RIN = 100 and MIN = 100 annotation = 10+00,
11+00, 12+00, etc.
GEOMETRY STRING ANNOTATION:
NOTE: The options below are for
annotating profiles with this macro alone. Consult the
documentation for profile annotation utilizing the UPM
program.

* - Required information
CV - Character variable
PV - Positive value
NV - Numeric value
When plotting a profile at a scale
other than 1:500 (1" = 50'), it is
recommended that you change some of the grid and scale
variables. Listed below are suggested variables to use for
both 20 scale imperial and 250 scale metric plots.

20 SCALE:
|
1:250 SCALE:
|
| HS=20,VS=4,YG=4,YBG=-0.4 |
HS=250,VS=50,YG=1,YBG=-0.1 |
