Cross Sections Not Generating Labeling Cross Hairs

Brandon Ratermann — Wed, 05 May 2021 19:33:06 GMT

Hi Everyone,

Our firm is having a recurring problem with our cross section labeling. We are creating our cross sections from corridor models. Once we have the cross sections cut, we only have 50-75% of the necessary cross hairs populated to annotate the cross sections. There is no rhyme or reason that we can pinpoint as to why it creates the cross hairs in some locations and not others. For example on one project, both edge of pavements were the same feature definition, and one side generated cross hairs and the other did not. We have tried changing the feature definitions, changing the point naming conventions, and even tried creating our own feature definitions to no avail.

It is starting to get frustrating to continually have to hand edit half of our cross sections.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Cross Section Labeling - Segment Labeling the Existing Ground

Brandon Ratermann — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 21:25:53 GMT

I am attempting to label segments using the Annotate Cross Section tool. I have selected "include Segments" and have unchecked points and features. I am only trying to place one label at a time by manually selecting the points I want to label between. When I select apply, every segment in the existing terrain is being labeled. Every label I produce, this happens to the existing ground line. Below is an example of what the labeler is producing.

Thanks for any help,

Microstation will not save user on start up

Brandon Ratermann — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:35:25 GMT

I recently switched to Microstation SS4 and am having some issues with the preferences saving.

Upon start up of the program, it will default to the "examples" user every time no matter which user was used last. It will also only save Microstation preferences (ie mouse configuration, dual screens, or auto table settings) when working under the "examples" user. This is an issue because I need to set up a personal user and have the local DOT as the project. When I am in a created user .ucf with the DOT set as my project, it will not save any Microstation settings. Upon closing Microstation, the date modified will update on the .ucf file I have created, but the next time I enter Microstation, all of the settings I configured will be lost.

I have tried deleting the "examples.ucf" and force it to start up with the user created .ucf, but it gives an coding error and will not start up Microstation until I restore the "Examples.ucf".

Is there any way I can set my Microstation up to start up and save preferences with the .ucf file of my choice. The "examples" user has no value to me because it does not have any of the DOT configurations which I work in exclusively.

Thanks,

Brandon
