INLINE OPTION: .SCALE Value
Chapter 5 Preparing Input Data
This option applies to 2D/3D “Local” coordinate system jobs only. When the “Apply an
Average Scale Factor” option is selected in the Project Options/Adjustment dialog, this
inline option allows you to change the entered scale factor. The scale factor is used to
scale horizontal distances, or the horizontal components of slope distances. You can
insert this inline option into your data as many times as needed to vary the scale in your
project. If the “.SCALE” inline is entered without a scale value, the scale factor is reset
to the default value originally set in the Project Options.
INLINE OPTION: .PELEVATION Value
This option applies to “2D” local and grid jobs only. It allows you to redefine a default
project elevation for various parts of a project when you feel the elevation changes
enough to make a difference in the results. A reference elevation for a station used in
calculations is assigned the first time the station name is seen in your data. Therefore by
careful placement of this inline in your data, you can accurately assign reference
elevations to stations in different regions of your project.
In the example below, assume the “Default Project Elevation” in set to 1000 in the
Project Options. Stations 1, 2 and 4 will have a reference elevation of 1000 assigned and
stations 5, 6 and 7 a reference elevation of 875.
C 1 20000 20000 ! !
C 2 20007.432 19182.223 ! !
M 1-2-4 89-53-22 842.12
.PELEV 875 #Change default to 875
C 5 21543.244 22832.432 ! !
M 5-4-6 67-25-11 645.98
M 6-5-7 87-56-38 987.12
.PELEV #Reset to project default
etc...
As shown above, entering the “.PELEVATION” inline option with no value, resets to the
original default setting in the Project Options.
INLINE OPTION: .COPYINPUT ON/OFF
When the “Copy of Input Data Files” option in the Project Options/Listing File dialog is
selected, your data file or files are copied to the listing file. Using this inline option, you
can completely control which parts on your data will be copied, and which parts will not.
This option is very useful for excluding bulky sections from your listing file that you
don’t really care to see. Simply place a “.COPY OFF” inline before any group of lines
you wish not to be copied to the listing file, and then a “.COPY ON” inline where you
wish to resume copying. When the “Copy of Input Data Files” listing option is turned off
in the Project Options, the “.COPY” inline has no affect.
