Draw Chainage Break Symbol

Use this function to interrupt the chainage of the selected line (alignment or CAD line/polyline/arc) at the desired location and restart chainage from the interruption point.

• The first chainage after the interruption point is a user-defined value.

• If desired the selected alignment/line can be split into two parts at the interruption point.

Notes:

• The function makes changes only to the alignment in the drawing.

• Data related to the alignment in the database (Quadri Model) is unaltered.

Run the function from the following location:

MOUS_ICO Menu: Road > Draw Horizontal Alignment > Draw Chainage Break Symbol

MOUS_ICO Ribbon: Road > Draw Horizontal Alignment > Draw Chainage Break Symbol

Command prompts for:

Pick baseline:

MOUS_ICO Select the alignment/CAD entity (Line/Polyline/Arc), along which chainage is to be interrupted and restarted.

The dialog Draw Chainage Break Symbol will pop up and a mark (cross line) will be displayed on the alignment.

• The dialog is a floating window, which allows working on other Novapoint/CAD functions without exiting this dialog.

Defining the Chainage Break Point

Use the button Break at chainage < and pick the location from the drawing. The cross line moves according to the mouse movement. The chainage of the selected point will be displayed.

Tips:

• Make use of Object Snap Modes for accurate selection.

• Chainage from this point - Alternatively, define the first chainage to be given to the selected baseline after the chainage break point.

  • By default, the value will be the same as that of the value at the field Break at Chainage <.

• Symbol angle (grad) - A pre-defined symbol will be inserted at the chainage break point.

  • Define the angle (grad) for the symbol.

  • By default, the symbol will be inserted perpendicular to the baseline at the chainage break point.

• Break Polyline - Mark this check box to break the selected baseline at the chainage break point.
