Sets the displayed precision for the slope value

Directional Indicator Attributes (global)

Pen/Style

Select the pen style and line thickness for the grade directional arrow. Alternatively, select Class style in the Pen list. The pen, color, style, and marker are then determined by the class attributes of the grade object.

Reshape Setting (global)

Preserve Grade if one point is not connected

Preserves the grade of a reshaped grade object, and recalculates the elevation.

This preference works only if at least one end point of the reshaped grade object is not connected to another grade object; the elevation of the unconnected end point is changed. If both end points of the reshaped grade object are connected to other grade objects, the grade is changed and the elevations are preserved to maintain continuity with the connected grade objects.

Analyze Grade Objects

Uses grade objects to analyze the slope or elevation; choose to highlight (in the specified color) and/or select objects that meet the criteria. Specify the criteria to mark.
