Curve Table Size
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2001 7:19 pm
I read the previous posts about all the white space in the table. I
called
about this last year but nothing seems to have been done. I see 2
problems:
(1) The headers are not editable, and (2) The width of each column is
based
on the AutoCAD txt.shx font and not the current font. My suggestion for
this
was to: (1) Make the headers customizable. This routine already exists
in
the annot curve routines, and (2) Make the column widths customizable
with a
preview. There are other programs that do this already but I love my
SurvCADD!
Here's what I'm doing currently. First I survcadd explode (to inserted
layer) the curve chart in the drawing. I then edit the headers to say
what I
want: Delta, Radius, Length, Tangent, Chord, and Chord Bearing.
Previously,
I have created a block of the chart, lines only, with the spacing that
fits
my text. I insert this block over the existing chart. I erase the chart
that
survcadd created, and then ortho move the text to fit each column in my
newly inserted chart block.
This is a lot of trouble but I HAVE to do it on my final plats as space
is
at a premium. I calculated that the chart surcadd creates is approx.
1.75
times the width I need. In other words, .75 of the space in the chart is
white space.
Has there been a fix for this? I was told last year over the phone that
this
item would be addressed in an upcoming build, but have not seen anything
yet.
Thanks,
Jack
