Move stations - MDT25

11.14 Move Stations

This option allows one to modify the stations or distances to the origin of a cross-section file. After selecting the file to be modified, the program requests a new Initial Station. If one enters a number other than the one proposed, the program takes it as the origin and changes all the values in the file's first column.

When the command is executed, the following dialog box is displayed. One enters the Origin and Destination files, together with the New Initial Station to be applied.

MDT automatically creates a backup file of the original file, with the same name and a .BAK extension.

Example: Cross-sections before and after applying a station adjustment of +250.0 m
