Slope Label

Annotate grade, slope, or ratio of selected profile slopes along with station and/or elevation of vertices.

Keyboard Command: ProLabSlp

Procedure:

1. Execute the Slope Label tool from the ribbon, menu, or command above.
2. Pick the Profile (or section) block to process.
3. Pick the Polyline (contained in the block) to label.
4. Designate to label slopes, vertices or change templates.
5. For vertices and slopes, pick the starting and ending vertices, all points/segments between will be labeled.
6. Repeat the command as needed for other labels.

Notes:

• MapWorks Profiles are bound as blocks, the block/reference editing mode is perfect for manual editing. To begin editing you should be able to simply double pick the profile in the drawing. Alternatively you can use these commands.
  • On AutoCAD:
    • BEDIT command and pick the profile (or section) to begin editing.
    • BCLOSE command to save changes to the profile/section.
  • On BricsCAD/IntelliCAD:
    • REFEDIT command and pick the profile (or section) to begin editing.
    • REFCLOSE command to save changes to the profile/section.
• The current value of the TEXTSIZE variable controls the text height.
• Note that manual edits of profiles and sections are lost if they are reprocessed.

Fields:

• Slopes:
  • [DegSlp,#] Degree of Slope
  • [PerGrd,#] Percent Slope
  • [SlpRat,#] Slope Ratio
  • [SlpDis,#] Slope Distance
  • [HorDis,#] Horizontal Distance
  • [VerDis,#] Vertical Distance
• Vertex:
  • [PntSta,#] Point Station
  • [PntElv,#] Point Elevation

Notes:

• # Represents a number between 0 and 8 and must be included.
