Use this dialog box to view and change sample line-related settings.
This topic documents settings in all sample line-related Edit Settings dialog boxes (drawing-level, feature-level, and command-level).
For general information about drawing, feature, and command settings and their interaction, see About Autodesk Civil 3D Settings.
For information about drawing-level ambient settings, see Ambient Settings Tab (Drawing Settings Dialog Box).
Use these settings to establish the default styles assigned to sample line components:
Specifies the default sample line style. Click in the Value column, and click to select a style in the Sample Line Style dialog box.
Specifies the default sample line label style. Click in the Value column, and click to select a style in the Sample Line Label Style dialog box.
Use these settings to specify the default name formats for new sample lines and sample line groups. Click in the Value column, and click to make changes in the Name Template dialog box.
This property group is displayed when you access the settings from the CreateSampleLine command.
Use these settings to specify the default behavior for sample line swath width.
Specifies the swath width to the left of the alignment, using the actual ground units. Enter a width in the Value column or click and select a distance in the drawing area.
Specifies the swath width to the right of the alignment, using the actual ground units. Enter a width in the Value column or click and select a distance in the drawing area.
Use these settings to specify the default behavior for sampling increments.
Specifies whether sample lines are created at incremental stations along the alignment.
Specifies the sample increment distance along tangents, using the actual ground units. Enter a distance in the Value column or click and select a distance in the drawing area.
Specifies the sample increment distance along curves, using the actual ground units. Enter a distance in the Value column or click and select a distance in the drawing area.
Specifies the sample increment distance along spirals, using the actual ground units. Enter a distance in the Value column or click and select a distance in the drawing area.
Use these settings to specify the default behavior for additional sample controls.
Specifies whether a sample line is created at the beginning of the specified range.
Specifies whether a sample line is created at the end of the specified range.
Specifies whether additional sample lines are created at horizontal geometry points, such as, at the start of a spiral, or at a spiral-curve point within the current range.
Specifies whether additional sample lines are created at superelevation critical stations within the current range.
Specifies whether the sampling range starts at the beginning of the alignment.
Specifies whether the sampling range ends at the end of the alignment.
Use this setting to specify miscellaneous default behavior for sample lines.
Specifies whether the sample lines update when the alignment geometry and properties change.
