Measure to line/Stake to line
41.1
Overview
The Measure to line/Stake to line app can be used to stake out or measure
points relative to a line.
The Measure to line/Stake to line app can be used for the following tasks:
•
Measuring to a line where the coordinates of a design point can be calcu-
lated from its position relative to the defined line.
•
Staking to a line where the position of a design point is known and
instructions to locate the point are given relative to the line.
•
Gridstaking a line where a grid can be staked relative to a line.
•
Viewing the position relative to a slope defined from the line.
Other functionality available includes:
•
Shifting the line with parallel offsets.
•
Referencing to a specific segment of a line.
•
Reversing the direction of a line.
If the message panel appears which requires that the app must be activated
using a licence key then refer to "29.3 Load licence keys".
Lines/arcs can be created from points stored as:
•
WGS 1984 geodetic
•
Local grid
A local grid must always be available when using the app.
Linked jobs will overwrite the points and lines from the global design job selec-
ted in

Term
Description
Reference
point
Used in this chapter to refer to the location on the line that
is perpendicular to the measured position.
Design point
The design point.
•
For measuring to a line, this term refers to the point
with the coordinates of the current position and the
designed or calculated height.
•
For staking or grid staking to a line, this term refers to
the point to be staked, defined by the user
Measured
point
The current position.
Line
003976_001
A line can be a straight line between two
points, an arc or a multi-point line made up
of multiple individual line sections. It may be
constructed by joining many “point to
points”, by creating the sections segment-
by-segment, or by creating an alignment.
