General Line Data Fields (InfoWorks)

General Line data can be edited on either the General Line Grid Window of the Lines Grid or the General Line Property Sheet.

Most data can be edited on the grid, but some fields cannot be displayed in the grid format.

To view and edit all general line data, use the Property Sheet.

The following describes all the data which can be used to define a General Line.

General Line XY Data

This field defines the coordinate of the line vertices. The underlying data consists of a series of (x,y) pairs. Each line is made up of a series of straight lines between the defined (x,y) pairs.

This data is not displayed on the grid or property sheet.

Coordinates of line vertices are included when you export line data to CSV files. There are two options available for exporting line coordinates. These are selected on the Select CSV Export Options Dialog using the Coordinate Arrays Format dropdown list. The options are:

  • Packed - The data is exported as a series of x,y pairs. {389904.,111350.,390309.,111765.}

  • Separately - the data is appended to the end of the row containing the line data. Each x and y value is in a separate (comma separated) field.
