Is there a way to annotate track cant in mm, not slope in Open Rail designer?.
I've tried to annotate a segment defined by the track points (Lt-Rt segment), but the segment field can only annotate as slope, not vertical distance. ¿Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Bonjour,
Thanks for the answer. Quite elegant!!
jpln, is it possible to round the cant value to, say 5 or 10mm?

It is not something possible or easy to do. To 10mm maybe we can find a trick by dividing by 10 in the template and annotate mm with no decimal. 57mm will give 0.0057 and will be annotated as 6. Then you can add suffix 0mm and it will be annotated as 60mm.
Thanks jpln,
I would have thought this is a requirement, I do not know anyone who specifies cant in metres or to the nearest mm. Is it possible to have a calculation such as Round(C / 10)*10 for 10mm or Round(C / 5)*5 for 5mm in the template?
It is something that should be added to the text favorites as general enhancement to format any kind of value.
I didn't find such enhancement but I will create one.
For those who are interested by such capability and maybe for other type of annotation, please fill a service request explaining what you want to do (examples of user cases) and include the reference to the follwoing enhancement request I created:
