INSERT PARALLEL LINE (InsPar)

 

Type: Interactive Application

 

Places parallel lines from a user-defined baseline.  The distance from the base line may be specified by a digitized point or by entering an offset distance.  The elevation difference from the base line or previous line may also be specified.  Parameters for the new line may be obtained from the base line or from a user defined Function Key.

Description

Range

PARMOD=

Parameter mode

0 = Base line

1 = Function Key

XYOFF=

X,Y Offset distance

Ground units

ZOFFMOD

Z offset mode

Specifies which parameter to use for the Z offset

0 = User defined Z offset

1 = Z offset from digitized point

ZOFF=

Z offset distance

Ground units

FKEY=

Function key name

PARAMETERS

PARAMETER MODE (PARMOD)

Specifies the location of the line parameters for the new offset line.  The option of 0 (Baseline) will copy the line parameters from the baseline identified for offset.  The option of 1 (Fkey) will copy the line parameters from the function key specified.  If the function key does not exist the parameters from the base line will be used.

OFFSET DISTANCE (OFF)

Offset distance in ground units of place the new line from the base line.  If this parameter is entered from a dialog box by pressing button 2 (Enter offset) then the line is placed immediately.  If this parameter is entered from a key-in (i.e. OFF=12.5) then it is used only as a default.

Z OFFSET MODE (ZOFFMOD)

Specifies which parameter to use for the Z offset.  The options include the user-defined Z offset or to compute the Z offset from the base line to the digitized point.

Z OFFSET DISTANCE (ZOFF)

Vertical distance to offset each new line from the base line or the previous line.  If the parallel is repeated using button 3 then the vertical offset accumulates.  This makes it possible to parallel items such as steps.

FKEY NAME (FKEY)

Function key to use for line parameters for the new line.  Note that the Parameter Mode must be set to 1 (Fkey) for the function key to be used.  If Insert Parallel Line is started from a function key then this parameter is automatically set to the function key name.

Description

1

Dig offset

Digitizes the location for the new line.

2

Enter offset

Allows entry of an offset in ground units.  After the distance is entered the new line is placed.

3

Repeat last

Repeats the last offset.  The offset distance and Z offset accumulate if multiple repeats are done

4

New base line

Allows the identification of a new base line.
