Pip marks at fix interval,XY coord at transition n EW vol based on depth

Dear All,

Would appreciate if you could look at this,

The list includes:

1. Pip marks at fix interval. Currently MX places more pips at curves.

2. X,Y coordinates to be displayed at transition, i.e. TS, SC, CS and ST.

3. Earthworks volume based on depth, i.e.
Cut and Fill - 0 to 6m depth
Cut and Fill - 6 to 12m depth
Cut and Fill above 12m

Would appreciate if you could advise if MX is able to do the above mentioned and is it available in Input file format?

Thanks,

KK

  • KK,

    1. This has annoyed me for a long time. To be exact, MX doesn't place more pips at curves - it places them wherever you specified them to be in your HALGN or 145 code. That said, in order to get a good-looking curve ("Hi there...") you would probably increase the point interval from that on the straight sections. Two versions of MX ago was the last time I needed to display pips and (to my knowledge) the option wasn't available to display pips at every nth point. If it's still not possible then it would certainly be handy. My solution was to display them all and delete the unwanted ones in AutoCAD (5p in the swearbox). You could display your M-string at 2m intervals (825,MAST,DETA,7=2.000) if that would help, but there must be points at every 2m.

    2. This code draws the horizontal TP coordinates for GC01. It should get you started.

    DRAW,TEMP
    801OVER
    80530
    80630
    808,,N 0,,0.20,5
    809HTPS
    859,GC01,I005,7=0,10=0
    859,3=E000,1
    001,&E000&E
    859,GC01,I004,7=0,10=0
    859,3=E001,2
    001,&E001&N
    999
    DISPLAY
    FINISH

    3. I'll let someone else do this - my fingers are sore.

  • Hi Scott,

    Thanks for your effort and I'm forwarding the solution as you mentioned earlier to my client.

    Thanks again,
