# Cross Markings
Command Description
The “Cross Markings” command allows you to create and edit the Cross Markings. You can create custom templates of Cross Markings. In this command, the projection of Cross Markings to the selected Surface is also available.
To create Cross Markings
Click Kobi Signs and Stripes tab > Markings panel > Cross Markings
.Press “Enter” to create new Cross Marking.
Pick base points (P1, P2, …) in the drawing.
Pick second point to determine the Cross Marking direction or choose between “Perpendicular” and “Angle”.
Select the existing Cross Marking from the template.
Optionally edit the parameters of each cross-marking item in the table: Description, Shape, Start, Length, Gap, Width, Offset, Color and Label formula. The parameters are explained on the figure in the upper section of the “Cross Marking” dialog box.
Note that available fields for the Label Formula are: • <[Start]>, • <[Length]>, • <[Gap]>, • <[Width]>, • <[Offset]>, • <[Name]>.
NOTE: By default, the marking’s IDs from Slovenian Traffic Signs Regulation are defined in “Label formula” field. Enter the “Minimal margin” – determines the minimum margin (offset) of the cross-marking item from the specified base points (P1, P2, ...). If the cross-marking items consists of rectangle and/or triangle shapes, the offset can be larger than specified, since only whole pieces of shapes are drawn.
Minimal margin specified on the left image is 0.2, while actual margin offset is 0.25, since only whole pieces of rectangle shapes are drawn. Shapes are aligned By Group.
- Choose between the options to align shapes “By Group” or “By Item”.
Option “By Group” means that all margin items are aligned between the specified base points together as a one group.
Option “By Item” means that each margin’s item is aligned separately and independently of the others.
Select a Contour layer from the drop-down list, or type the new layer name in the field.
Select a Hatch layer from the drop-down list, or type the new layer name in the field.
Select the “Mirror line setting” to create a mirrored copy of the selected Cross Marking items across the specified based points (P1, P2, …).
Click
to change positions of base points (P1, P2, …), that define the Cross Marking base line.Click
to change direction (angle) of Cross Marking shapes.
Choose the “Project to Surface” option and select a Surface from the drop-down list. Or click
