Editing and Annotating Charts
The profile and plan view charts can be edited and annotated in a number of ways. Shapes and captions
can be drawn directly on the charts to describe job site conditions and other points of interest using the
Edit
menu chart annotations commands. And the boundaries of the charts can be changed using the
Edit
menu chart properties commands. The help files in the LWD software provide full instructions on all
editing capabilities. The instructions below are basic to getting started with the chart editing functions.
Drawing Shapes and Adding Captions
There are four ways you can access the chart annotations dialog boxes where you can draw shapes and
enter information to be included on the chart graph and printed report.
Select the profile or plan chart annotations command from the
Edit
menu.
Click on the edit profile or plan chart annotations icon on the tool bar.
Place the mouse on an existing annotation and double-click to change its properties. NOTE:
Captions cannot be edited in this manner; only objects.
Hold the shift key down and use the mouse to draw a box around the area you would like a shape
to appear on the chart. The Location area of the dialog box will automatically be filled with the
coordinates of the box you drew.
