In this exercise, you will change station settings by specifying the station base value, adding a layer prefix, and beginning of curve and curve/tangent intersect labels.
On the Alignments menu, click Station Display Format to display the Edit Station Format dialog box.
In the Station/Chainage Numeric Format section change the Station base value to 1000 by moving the slider to the right, and then click OK.
On the Alignments menu, click Alignment Labels to display the Alignment Labels Settings dialog box.
In the Layer Prefix section, enter *- (asterisk hyphen) for the Layer prefix.
This will append the alignment name automatically to all of the layers that are automatically created when generating alignment stationing.
In the Label Text section, enter BC for the Beginning of curve and EC for the Curve/Tangent intersect, and then click OK.
Although stationing can be accomplished in a single operation, this lesson shows you how to create station labels with a specific text style and offset first, and then station point labels with a different text style and offset.
On the Alignments menu, click Station Label Settings to display the Alignment Station Label Settings dialog box.
Clear the Station point labels check box, enter 50 m for the Station label increment, 10 m for the Station tick increment, and 2 m for the Station label offset, and then click OK.
On the Utilities menu, click Set Text Style to display the Text Style dialog box.
From the Style Name list, select 2MM, and then click Close.
You now have a new station label style.
