Alignment station tick??? Where?

[Anonymous]

On the more frustrating sides of things, we prefer running our stationing parallel with the alignment line. Of course, LDD provided a tick/or line for you at the specific station on the polyline. Now it doesn't in 3D? The tutorials only have them as a block, does that mean that is the only way to do it now?
Show me the right path if it's an on/off option, otherwise, just another quirk we'll have to live with!?? I did read something about changing the y offset or something like that so it would be visible, but that didn't seem to be the answer.


TIA
Dave

You can add a line component and adjust to get what you want.

Check this attachment and let me know what you think.

Good job Danny!
I need help though. What is the difference in the two png's?

PS. I keep saying that the help system needs examples of profiles & plans
AND how they got there!

Apparently nothing. I thought I had cropped the important part of the image and blew it up, but that didn't quite work out. I was hoping the original postee could see my settings. But I think I got my point across.

Thanks Danny...back to work in AM and will hit it. Didn't even think about line tab - too focused on the tic and assuming that was my focus....hopefully should do it for me!

Finally! Scary that this took about 2 hours of frustration to figure out.

Metric equivalent attached for those interested - on a 1:500 scale - Note this was based on a y offset for text of 0.75 for 1.6mm text.

Thanks again for input, didn't think a block was the only way!
