- I seem to be getting out of the office a little bit lately. I just got back from two weeks in Prague, Czech Republic helping with the creation and testing of our Eastern European Country Kits. For those of you wonder what a country kit is. It is a set of content similar to what we ship in the box in North America, this means items like templates, superelevation files, pipe network parts, reports etc. On with the show. I have uploaded an example style drawing to the community site here
Credit for this goes to Jorge Pipo, an Autodesk Civil Applications Engineer based in Germany. A very common problem when working with cross section bands is having overlapping information. Below is a screen shot of a band that show offsets for my design.
Due to the proximity of the curb points the text become an overlapping mess. Well thanks to Jorge we now have a creative solution to labeling this information without clutter. This screen shot shows and sample of Jorge’s Solution.
So for the adventurous in the crowd go ahead and download the drawing from the community and dissect just what Jorge did to make this work. For the less adventurous in the crowd stay tuned for my next post where I will break down exactly how this set of styles is configured.
