Mark,
That's what I figured but I checked the chains out to 6 decimals. Both ending in zeros.
These two chains are just a couple of about thirty sideroads that I used as examples. It's about 50-50 on how they visualize. I will say that all the chains were created using cogo not by graphics.
Esther, send me an e-mail at lhicks@hlcllp.com and I'll be happy to send you any pertenant data for testing.
Thanks
Lucas - I was able to reproduce what you are seeing, but D&C manager seems to be visualizing like it should. I've attached my dgn with the results.
Here is what I did:
Chain1 -- Store point 101, then stored point 102 by traverse 300.0000001 feet due north. Store Chain1 from points 101 & 102.
Chain2 -- Store point 201, then stored point 202 by traverse 300.000000 feet due north. Store Chain2 from points 201 & 202.
When I visualized the chains and stationing using D&C Manager, Chain1 shows Sta. 10+00 due to the fact that the chain extends ever so slightly beyond it. Chain2 ends exactly at 10+00, so it doesn't show.
Could this be what you are experiencing?
Lucas,
D&C Manager should not draw two identical chains differently if the same D&C Manager item is used to plot the chain. To determine if this is what is happening in your case, I would need the D&C Manager database that you are using, the item you are selecting and your gpk file. If you will send me those files I would be happy to look at what is happening.
Sorry about that. It was close to closing time. I just don't see why the D&C manager would drawn identical chains different. On the job it's close to 50-50 how they come out. That's unexceptable. Unless it's my fault then that's to be expected.
Anyone else seen this happen? I can give the data set if necessary.
