Merged idea

Linkage between plan and profile named boudaries - profile named boundaries are created exactly where the plan named boundary ends even if plan named boundaries are modified (moved, stretched, rotated etc). Merged

I noticed that when one creates a plan-profile drawing the profile named boundaries should follow the plan named boundaries. Although this is true when plan named boundaries are created AND REMAIN UNCHANGED, the same cannot be said when one attempts to create profile named boundaries AFTER THE HORIZONTAL NAMED BOUNDARIES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED. The program tends to create profile named boundaries on the original positions of the plan named boundaries. Clearly this is a fault. Program should have the ability to create profile named boundaries exactly where the plan named boundary ends, even after modification, in a dynamic fashion. An example of this problem is presented below.

The first picture depicts a named boundary that has been modified, namely moved, stretched and rotated after it was created. It ends around KM 0+350.

The second picture depicts the reulted named boundary that was created from this plan group. Obviously the program follows the original dimensions of the named boundary without taking into account the changes which were made in the plan named boundary.


That way, profile will always correspond to the plan and vis versa.
