[ORD R3] Stationing coming in wrong at certain scales?

That's what I figured it was, but I just wanted to be sure!

Thanks!

It's a math thing. Station 100 is 10000 ft from Sta 0+00. 2, 4, & 5 are all factors of 10000. 6 is not. So any interval must be a factor of the station if you want even stationing.

We made our profiles always 50 scale horizontally since we seldom do plan over profile sheets and most profiles are not as cluttered as plans, so the amount of conflicts at 50 scale vs 30 scale is not really an issue and it keeps grids at nice even scale segments.

Holly, is there a reason it doesn't do a 60 interval in particular though? I know I can do an 80 interval without a problem from Sta. 100.

The intervals are set at the multiples of what you assign. So it would be 60, 120, 180, etc. There is not a way to have the interval start at 100 and then do a 60 interval. I logged an enhancement though for this functionality: Enhancement 976745, Profile Grid > Major Grid Properties > Horizontal Interval to begin at start station.

I have the Horizontal Interval set to 60.00.

It appears to be doing this interval correctly after first station.

What value do you have set for the Horizontal Interval under Manage Annotations for the Profile Grid? It would be under the Major Grid Properties.

Could this be due to Station Lock? I believe there is some configuration variable that controls how this functions. Its the equivalent of an old InRoads Lock. Assuming that ORD still uses this variable. It should be some type of Civil Design File setting since some workflows used to require turning it off, while others needed it on. A Variable is much harder to toggle on and off.

Holly,

Thanks for the reply.

Here's some screen shots matching yours of what it looks like on my end.

Thanks!

Adam,

If you give us more information on your workflow, we should be able to see what is causing this. Please send me some screenshots to detail your workflow. Something like this...

I place my Named Boundary with this setup:

And I set the Create Drawing dialog like this:

I hit OK, and my Drawing Model appears like this:

Once we understand your workflow, it will be easier to see what needs to be changed.
