Measure to line/Stake to line

Overview
The Measure to line/Stake to line app can be used to stake out or measure
points relative to a line.
The Measure to line/Stake to line app can be used for the following tasks:
Measuring to a line where the coordinates of a design point can be calcu-
•
lated from its position relative to the defined line.
• Staking to a line where the position of a design point is known and
instructions to locate the point are given relative to the line.
Gridstaking a line where a grid can be staked relative to a line.
•
Viewing the position relative to a slope defined from the line.
•
Other functionality available includes:
• Shifting the line with parallel offsets.
Referencing to a specific segment of a line.
•
Reversing the direction of a line.
•
If the message panel appears which requires that the app must be activated
using a licence key then refer to "29.3 Load licence keys".
Lines/arcs can be created from points stored as:
WGS 1984 geodetic
•
Local grid
•
A local grid must always be available when using the app.
Linked jobs will overwrite the points and lines from the global design job selec-
ted in Design Data.
Term Description
Reference Used in this chapter to refer to the location on the line that
point is perpendicular to the measured position.
Design point The design point.
For measuring to a line, this term refers to the point
•
with the coordinates of the current position and the
designed or calculated height.
For staking or grid staking to a line, this term refers to
•
the point to be staked, defined by the user
Measured The current position.

A line can be a straight line between two
points, an arc or a multi-point line made up
of multiple individual line sections. It may be
constructed by joining many "point to
points", by creating the sections segment-
by-segment, or by creating an alignment.
