[MX V8] Long section drawing - small vertical radius annotation

You can have more than one mmd file for a project. Make a copy of your prefered parameterfile .prm and .gui e.g. tutorial.prm and tutorial.gui and rename the files like mytutorial.prm and mytutorial.gui. Then edit the mytutorial.prm file and set CLUTTEXT=0. Start MX and select "New Project". Set project location to the location where you have your modelfile stored. Give a project name other than the one already used and finally change "default project settings" to mytutorial. REMEMBER to click NO to retain existing modelfile. Otherwise modelfile is overwritten.

Now you can start the project using different parameters file.

I've entered an enhance request (S-62017) to let you modify CLUTTEXT either in the GUI and/or by using minor option 017.

It is good idea :) I can't do anything because I don't have permissions (Windows Vista 64) to change anything in Parameters folder :(

Can't you change the directory in Edit Project Settings > Directories > MossParam ?

I have tried but it seem not to work :)

I've fiddled, for the first time ever, with the PRM settings and found that they're not immediately effected. For example:

• changing CRMDRAWM (CREATE M-STRING PARAMETERS > Draw master string) didn't work until I created a new alignment;
• CRMCHINT (CREATE M-STRING PARAMETERS > Chainage interval) didn't work until I created a new project (overwriting my mmd);
• and changing all the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY parameters to 2 (red and dashed) has (so far) had no effect.

Perhaps changing all the required parameters in the file and then starting a new project would apply them all at once, but I was hoping to be able to experiment with the settings and see the reaction "on the fly". Ho-hum.
