These settings affect how TPC draws the profiles in Drawing View.
Draw any vertical curves as part of the profile. TPC labels the BC, EC and vertical PI for each vertical curve it encounters.
With Trim Symbols turned on, the lines drawn between points will be trimmed to stop at the edge of the point symbols.
Adds distance units like FT/M/CH to line distances.
You may what to use ‘ instead of Ft or chs instead of CH. You can change the distance units by choosing Tools | Program Settings | Units.
You can set the drawing scale to whatever you choose. The vertical scale is determined by multiplying the scale by the vertical scale ratio.
The Vertical Ratio is used to exaggerate the elevation change along a profile. Entering 10 in the Vertical Ratio will draw the elevation change at a 10 to 1 ratio compared to the horizontal distance. Entering 1 in the Vertical Ratio will draw the elevation change at a 1 to 1 ratio compared to the horizontal distance (the elevation change will not be exaggerated).
Set the Vertical Space to a value that will separate multiple profiles vertically for display on a single drawing. When the Vertical Space value is other than zero, TPC labels each cross section with its own elevation and the Drawing View no longer tracks the elevation for you.
Enter the line label offset (space between the text and line) in inches/mm.
Use this to convert the line annotations from one unit to another (i.e., to display chains if coordinates are in feet, enter 66.0). The points will still be drawn in their original positions, but the distance annotations will change. This factor does not affect any other distance in the program.
Defines how the point labels are arranged. Enter the following letters in the sequence you want the point label information, using a \ to start a new line and “” to include any additional text you want like “Z=”Z.
You must still turn the individual items like Description on in the Control and Side Shot dialogs to include them in the label. This format just determines how to display them if you do turn them on.
P = Label
D = Description
Y, X, Z = Northing, Easting, Elevation
N = Station
\ = Line Break
Example:
The format P D\Y/X/Z\N will produce the following:
Label Description
Northing/Easting/Elevation
Station
You will return to the Drawing View and your new settings will be in use when you click OK.
Returns you to the Drawing View without applying any changes.
This option recalls the default settings stored in the Registry by the Save command.
This option saves the Miscellaneous Settings as the survey default settings. These settings will apply to all new surveys and traverses.
