[IR SS2] Survey: Custom Operations how to rotated to the actual line

HI All,

I like to know if I can rotate "InRoads Survey Custom Operations" like

AC="Cellname" or 'Textlines with the acutal angle of the line that is already started:

FWD:example

POS                  34
FCRD                     N:   5507977.325  E:   3405893.521  Z:       250.432
CODE    WTRLN ST  
ATTR                LBZ MMK 22°
               

POS                  35
FCRD                     N:   5507966.843  E:   3405886.919  Z:       250.583
CODE    929    
ATTR                LBZ MMK 45°
               

POS                  36
FCRD                     N:   5507953.244  E:   3405877.420  Z:       250.827
CODE    929    
ATTR                LBZ MMK 22°
              

My code WTRLN starts a line (ST) and I like to draw the attribute LBZ at every point rotated 90° to this line segment  like this:

But I can not find a setting how to set this angle.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

  • If you assign a named symbology with the plan or default text rotation to relative to object, and a 90 degree rotation, the custom codes for that Alpha Code should rotate to the segment begins with that particular point.

    I have used this with a pipe invert code and a zero angle to place text aligned with the pipe. As I recall, the last point, which has no following segment will use the same rotation as the previous point.

    Yes, this rotates my text  '$(ELEVATION) but NOT the AC=$(SYM) where SYM is a attribut of the point and is my cell name

    example custom operation:

    LV=SSN_NAR_NACHR_STEUERKABEL_SY
    AC=$(SYM)
    RESET
    LV=SSN_NAR_NACHR_STEUERKABEL_HOEHE_TX
    DX=-1
    DY=-4
    '$(ELEVATION)
    RESET

    That the last hurdle:

  • What about using the same relative rotation in the point named symbology?

    Yes, I tried it, no change, the AC=$(SYM) will not rotate!

  • Even this does not rotate AC=$(SYM) to AA=($ANGLE) the last AA=0 wins for the whole custom operation!

    LV=SSN_NAR_NACHR_STEUERKABEL_SY
    ANGLE=133
    AA=$(ANGLE)
    AC=$(SYM)
    RESET
    LV=SSN_NAR_NACHR_STEUERKABEL_HOEHE_TX
    DX=-1
    DY=-4
    RESET
    AA=0
    '$(ELEVATION)
    RESET

    And if I read the help file correct: This seems to be WAD!?

    IR-Help-File

    Note that if you turn on the Include Custom Operations, Symbols and Cells in a Single Cell option on the General tab of the Survey Options dialog box, cells and symbols – even those that were defined outside of custom operations – will honor the active angle defined within custom operation

    Oh... I misread and  have not set: Include Custom Operations, Symbols and Cells in a Single Cell option

    CR: filed: 8001400217: Change behaviour of AA=  AC=  with respect to Point symbology "angle relative to object" and AA= never overwrites ALL angle settings!
