PPF Editor - Long Section

Mohammad Rahman · Post by **Mohammad Rahman** » Fri Oct 26, 2018 4:58 pm

I have plotted a long section, everything comes OK, just there are plenty of + signs and unwanted small lines at each grade change. any idea on how to get rid of them?

Appreciate any help. Tried to put a screenshot but not much luck.

What version and build of 12d Model are you using (11.0C1q, 12.0C1p)?
Do you have the editor open for the profiled string?
Is the profiled string a Super Alignment?

Hi Graeme,
I am using V12. Yes, I have the editor open for the profiled string, its a super alignment.

Best regards,
Mohammad

Have you tried plotting with the string editor not in use?

Edit: fixed typo

Not really, will appreciate if you could please expand on how to do this?

Many thanks

Sorry for the typo in the previous post. Just close the string editor before plotting.

I have tried it and the problem is still there. They look like associated with the Primary String Drawing and Labelling

If this is an old Alignment string and not a Super Alignment, then from the Alignment Edit menu (string editor), turn off Draw ips via Utilities=>Properties.

If it is a Super Alignment, you might need to turn off Use vertical symbol in the SA style definition.
