Exercise 6: Working with Pay Item Formulas

In this exercise, you will build a mathematical formula that applies a pay item
to a corridor at a specified interval.
In the example used in this exercise, the pay item formula adds recessed
pavement markers at 10-foot intervals along the corridor. Similar applications
of this formula include lane striping and quantity of posts along a guardrail
or fence.
Formulas can also be used to convert pay item quantities from one unit of
measure to another. For example, you could create a formula that converts
square yards of a given pay item to tonnage.
Pay item formulas, label expressions, and design checks are created in a similar
manner. However, unlike label expressions and design checks, pay item
formulas are not saved in the current drawing. You will learn how to save and
manage pay item formula files in this exercise.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Using Formulas
with Pay Item Lists.
