Key Description
Store To store the line/arc to the design job.
Next To store the line/arc and to remain in the panel. The line ID
increments according to line ID template.
Description
The radius of the arc.
The first point forming the line.
The medium point forming the arc.
The last point forming the line.
The end point of the defined line. Available
for creating a line with Method:Point, brng,
dist, height diff or Point, brng, dist,
grade.
Description
Select one of the following options to create
a line/arc/polyline.
For lines/polylines. Uses two known points
to define the line.
For lines/polylines. Defines the line using a
known point, a distance, an azimuth and the
gradient of the line. A new point is created
at the end of the line.
For lines/polylines. The same as Point, brng,
dist, grade/Line from point, bearing, dis-
tance & grade but uses the difference in
height instead of the gradient. A new point
is created at the end of the line.
For arcs/polylines. Defines the arc using
three known points.
For arcs/polylines. Defines the arc with two
known points and a known radius.
