To Assign Pay Items to Corridors

After you modify Code Set Styles, you can automatically assign pay items to a corridor. You must create a code set style for links and points before assigning pay items to a corridor. Then, you apply the code set style to the corridor.

Pay items assigned to Point codes generate length quantities from the corridor. Pay items assigned to Link codes generate area quantities from the corridor.

To create a pay item code set style

  1. Open a drawing in which a pay item file is open.
  2. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand GeneralMultipurpose StylesCode Set Styles. Right-click All Codes. Click Copy.
  3. In the Code Set Style dialog box, on the Information tab, enter a Name.
  4. On the Codes tab:
    • Expand Link and click in the Pay Item cells for the links to which pay items will be attached.
    • Expand Point and click in the Pay Item cells for the points to which pay items will be attached.
  5. Click OK.
