Hello Community!
Can somebody show me the minor option that controls the distance between top of annotation boxes area (Level Datum) and the lowest section string points in drawing stepped long sections.
Thanx!
Hi Addis
Below is some inforamion on creating stepped longsections using linemode.
The following example draws a stepped long section on an A0 sheet. The margins are all 5cm except for the top margin which is 50cm (this leaves room at the top of the sheet for another drawing). The scale is 1:100 horizontally and 1:10 vertically.
The stepped long section has steps occurring at the nearest string point before the intersection with the drawing window. Each sheet contains 100m of section.

Hello Jason.

The problem i am facing is that i can not control the distance between the lowest section string points and the level datum, taking too much space that can not be accomodated in the page margin that i defined earlier.
If there is some mistake i have done with the input files or other that i have to incorporate, please let me know.
Addis.
Look at minor option 803, field 9.
This can be used to control the distance between the lowest section string points and the level datum, and may be what you need.
9=value eg 1 Add 1m to the lowest level and round down to nearest round number.
9=-value eg -1 Datum is nearest multiple of value given.
I tried that but says Error E1042 and E0091 ....I coudn't figure out WHY?
Addis
I cannot answer that - so I would advise raising a help request.
Take out the datum annotation part. Comment the datum lines and run again the input.
There used to be a bug related to datum in the stepped long sections (at least if using macros).
If it works, then the bug is still around and you may try by moving datum all the way to the bottom.
Have fun,
Val.
