9.23 Definition of Numerical Data

Users may interactively define the composition of any numerical data file by executing this command the numerical data for both long sections and cross-sections are defined by this command. Once Profiles > Definition of Numerical Data is accessed, the following dialog box is displayed:

Definition of numerical data - MDT25

This window's characteristics are described below:

Representation

The different sizes for letters, spaces and colors of each of the elements of the numerical data that will be drawn next to the longitudinal are personalized.

Colors

When we clicked this button, a dialog box is displayed to configure the colors of the different objects drawn on the numerical data. An example of the window is shown below, and its characteristics are described.

Definition of numerical data - MDT25 (2)

Abscissa: Establishes the color of the different horizontal lines that define the profile Drawing.

Coordinates: Establishes the color of the system of coordinates on which the profile is drawn.

Numerical data lines: Establishes the color of the different lines that comprise the numerical data.

Texts: Establishes the color of the texts marked in each of the numerical data elements.

Titles: Establishes the color of the titles of each of the elements of the numerical data.

Texts

When this button is activated, the characteristics with which the numerical data texts are to be drawn can be configured. The dialog box and a description of its characteristics appear below.

Definition of numerical data - MDT25 (3)

Text Style: Allows one to select the text style for the numerical data texts. MDT will display a list of the styles available in CAD.

Text Height

Numerical Data: Sets the numerical data element texts' heights.

Labels: This value represents the height of the labels associated with each of the numerical data elements.

Control Overlapping: If this box is marked, the overlap of any texts labelled will be controlled. Depending on the Minimum Distance entered, MDT will not draw any text at less than the specified distance from the previous text.

Options

Unique Points: If this control is activated, unique horizontal alignment points will be labelled when the long section or segment are represented.

Specified Distances: When this control is activated, the distances specified that are generated when the long section is obtained will be labelled on the profile drawing (see Obtain Long section command).

Vertical Transition Curves: Represents the distances corresponding to the vertical transition curves --grade line entry tangents and exit tangents-- to be represented.

Maximum and Minimum Grade Line Elevations: If we activate this box, the data corresponding to the stations featuring a maximum or minimum elevation on the vertical alignment curves will be labelled in the profile.

Saw Profile: If this option is activated, the profile may be drawn on any format, irrespective of the vertical scale selected. When the profile does not fit vertically on to the sheet, the comparison plan will automatically change and start drawing again from the bottom.

Format

Paper Size: This check box is used to select the size of the paper. One can choose among the different formats contemplated for sheet distribution (defined in the ESCALAS.DAT file). If one does not wish to split the drawing, the Continuous option (default value) should be selected.

The option exists to modify the formats proposed regarding their names, size and contents. In order to do so, the blocks in the BLOQUES\FORMATOS folder of the program's root directory should be modified.

Concerning scale fields, it is necessary to consider that the drawing's scale is determined by text size in CAD, as the drawing is only generated in a scale of 1:1 and proportionally to the horizontal / vertical relation.

Horizontal Scale: This drop-down list displays all the scales defined in the ESCALAS.DAT file in the MDT configuration directory. It is possible to complete the list with other usual values.

Vertical Scale: Same as the previous paragraph. The possibility of defining a vertical scale on the cross-section drawings has been thought up to make it possible to observe height differences in very long profiles having very small height differences without having the need to continuously enlarge the drawing on screen.

Modify

When this button is clicked, the configuration of the different elements comprising the numerical data is activated. The dialog box and a description of its functions and characteristics appear below.

Definition of numerical data - MDT25 (4)

The dialog box consists of two lists. The one on the left displays the elements available and the one on the right displays the current status of the numerical data.

Up: Any element selected on the list can be moved to a higher position than its previous position.

Down: Any element selected on the left-hand list can be moved down from its previous position.
