Bridge Object Display Form

The Bridge Object Display form shows an X-Y cross-section of the bridge object.

Bridge Section display area and Distance Along Span display box. As the horizontal scroll bar beneath the graphic display is moved to the left or right, if a variation has been defined for the span, the drawing will adjust to show the variation. The "location" of the scroll bar/variation is shown in the Distance Along Span display box. This distance is measured from the beginning of the span.
Bridge Object Name and Span area. The display boxes in this area identify the bridge object and the span to which the bridge section applies.

Options.
- Show Dots At Points check box. When this check box is checked, the locations of joints will be shown using small dots.
- Display Point Labels check box. Check this check box to turn on the display of point labels on the Bridge Section display area.
- Disable Corner Point Snap check box. By default, when the cursor is moved over the drawing, it snaps to the points that define the objects that comprise the bridge model; a small pop-up box displays the X and Y coordinates for the point, the type and ID of the object to which the point belongs and the ID of the point as it relates to the object. Checking this check box will turn off the point snap feature and allow the cursor to display the coordinates of any location on the drawing (and eliminate the display of the pop-up boxes).
X Coord and Y Coord display boxes. As the mouse cursor is moved over the drawing, the cursor coordinates display in these boxes.
File menu > Capture Picture command. Use this command on this form to display the Open File for Saving Bitmap form. Use that form to specify the path and filename for storing a bitmap of the displayed cross-section.
