To calculate co-ordinates from orthogonal points:
  1. Select or create the layer where you want the co-ordinates to appear.
  2. Select the command Calculate.
  3. Select the roadline by clicking the button ... If you have selected a roadline previously this will be the default selection. You can find a previously loaded roadline in the Roadline Manager or load a new one. This will activate the Roadline. You can close it straightaway and it will remain activated.
  4. Click on OK.
  5. The Open dialogue box appears. Select the co-ordinate file (.PXY) in which you have saved sections and offsets.
  6. Click on OK. The co-ordinates are imported into the drawing.
