Display reference string chainage in MXROAD dynamic sections

Hi,

Just a quick query with an answer that is no doubt staring me in the face; how do I display the section location in chainage relative to the master string rather than relative to where the sections start using dynamic cross sections?

For example, I'm looking for sections from Ch.1700-1800 on a master string which MXROAD V8i SS4 duly produces. However, in the Dynamic Cross Section Viewer, the chainage given in the drop-down menu at Ch.1700 is 0000, 1710 is 0010 and so on. The sections were taken along a master string and are in the correct geographical location, they're just not labelled correctly. My colleague's machine does display absolute chainage relative to the master string but neither of us know how that came about.  I tried right clicking on the drop down and hunting through the settings but to no avail, any answers out there?

Thanks in advance.

    OK, after digging a bit further, I can recreate the issue. It happens for me if the Section Location is set to SELECT Regular Chainage Intervals.
    If I pick chainange 350 - chainage 570 and have Select Regular Interval set to 10, then the scroll bar in the viewer is set to 10 for the first section and incrementing by 10 for each subsequent section.

    Can you check what you and your colleague have set for this option ?

    I can't find a workaround, so I guess I need to log a defect.

  • Si,

    That's the option I was using, I suspect my colleague was not. As the master string is typically in 5m increments I'll happily take that as a workaround for now, if you ever find a fix that would be a bonus! Thanks for your help, it was just a tiny thing that really bugged me and reduced the utility of dynamic sections.
