Tutorial 1, Part 3c – Automated Linework
Pick here to see an online movie of Tutorial 1 Part 3c
The points entered either manually in Part 3a or by importing an ASCII file in Part 3b were collected and coded using SDRMap coding to describe the linework as part of the point descriptions.
SDRMap coding Linework Generation
The Descriptions and Linework Codes used in this Scene are:

| EP1 EC | Edge of pavement 1 – End Curve |
| EP1 ST | Edge of pavement 1 – Start Line |
| EP1 STCV | Edge of pavement 1 – Start Curve |
| EP2 | Edge of pavement 2 – Standard Shot |
| EP2 EC | Edge of pavement 2 – End Curve |
| EP2 ST | Edge of pavement 2 – Start Line |

Switching to Advanced Workspace
To generate the linework using the SDRMap description codes, we will need to switch to the "IMS Advanced" workspace by picking the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the screen:
Connect Points using SDRMap Coding
Switch to the MsMeasurement Ribbon and select "Connect Points Using SDRMap coding" from the "AutoMAP group.
The Final Result
The coding on the points automatically generates linework as shown below. It is a simple intersection with a truck and a car that have collided. The truck has 2 skid marks and a water leak running out from under it.
Restoring the Sketch Workspace
Now that we are finished let's switch back to the Sketch workspace:
