Insert Line Text (InsLte)

Type: Interactive Application

 

Inserts text on an existing line. The line to place text on and the location of the text are identified by the user. Options include several ways to handle the broken portion of the line. Insert Line Text allows the digitization of an intersect line for placement of multiple line labels.

PARAMETERS

Source of Text (TexSor=)

Defines the source of the text to label. Normally the elevation of the line is placed as a label but it is possible to place text other than the elevation.

Other Text (OthTex=)

If Source of Text is defined as other (TEXSOR=1) then the text defined here will be used as the line text label.

Decimal Accuracy (Dec=)

Defines the number of places to the right of the decimal point when placing elevations as line text labels.

Layer Mode (LayMod=)

Defines the source for the layer number to use when placing the line text label. The layer of the line or a user-defined layer may be used.

Text Layer (TexLay=)

If the Layer Mode is set to Use text layer (LAYMOD=1) then the layer specified here will be used for the line text label.

Rotation Mode (RotMod=)

Defines the rotation mode to be used when placing line text labels. The following options are supported:

0=Rotate along line points increasing

1=Rotate along line points decreasing

Text Offset (Offset=)

Defines the distance from the center of the line to place the text. This parameter is entered as inches or millimeters from the target line. Enter a negative number to place the text below the line.

Break Mode (BreMod=)

Defines the action to take when breaking the line to place the line text.

0=Break line into two lines

1=Hide line under text

2=Place break points on line only

3=Place broken section in another layer

4=Don't break line

Break Layer (BreLay=)

Layer to place broken portion of line in. This parameter will be used if the Break Mode is set to 3 (Place broken section in another layer).

Target Layer (TarLay=)

Layer(s) containing lines to be labeled after an intersect line has been digitized. These layers normally contain contour lines.
