Create Chainage Text (Existing Object)

Description

Create dynamic text objects that display the chainage of an alignment.

Access

Home / Tools / Create / Text / Chainage / Existing Object

Requirements

Solve module

Controls

The following controls are available:

Control Description
Style Select the chainage text style to use for the text.
Object Input a line, alignment or pipe.
Vertex Input a vertex to create chainage text for a selected vertex.
Note:
  • Enabled when the Select vertex checkbox is selected.
Select vertex Select the check box to select vertices that are not part of the alignment. A chainage at the location where the vertex is projected onto the Object is created.
Project start/end segments Select the check box to project the object in order to compute chainages for selected vertices. Applicable only when Select vertex is selected.
Notes
  • Use this method to create chainage text at key vertices along a line, alignment or shape (pipe).
  • Lines and shapes(pipes) must be continuous for chainage text to be created.
  • Chainage text objects are dynamically updated if the object is edited.
  • The object may be projected beyond its start and end vertex.
  • Chainage equations are considered when creating chainage text for an alignment.
