Set Out Line
Chapter 17
Segments ..............The Segments field displays the number of segments, between the From and To points, into which the total line length is split. If you set this field to 1, the total arc length (or chord length) will be displayed in the Len incr field. If you want to set out an arc that is split evenly into five sections, enter 5 into this field, and the appropriate length increment to achieve this will be displayed in the Len incr field. Len incr................Specifies distance increments along the set out line at which you want to set out points. For example, if you wish to set out points every 20 feet (or meters) along the set out line, enter 20 into this field. Line len.................Defines the distance along the specified baseline from the selected From point to the set out point. You can enter into the Line len field the appropriate distance to the point to be set out or you can use the other fields on the screen to determine the distance. [ ← ] and [→ ] decrease and increase the current distance in the Line len field, for the point to be set out, by the value in the Len incr field.

•
[Store] stores the coordinates of the point to be set out. Appropriate code and point numbers may be allocated to the points. The calculated values on this screen are not editable. However if the elevation value is Null, you can enter an appropriate elevation value for the point.
•
[Line] allows you to set out point relative to the established baseline as described in Section 17.3, Setting Out Points Relative to an Established Line, Page 17-4.
