    Question Calling all Sheet Manager Experts

    I need to know how to set up a formula for text in a Plan and Profile Frame. I need to know specifically how to get the value of (The FG centerline Elevation "minus" The FG PVI elevation.)

    Thanks,

    I beleive the formula would be
    [116|1001]-[116|1201] when added to the text format/formula
    it should translate to FG Centerline|Elevation-[116|1201]

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I think that's what I had. But for some reason it's only giving me the PVI Elevation.

    Are any brackets or paranthesis needed?

    The code posted was directly out of Text Label Properties Edit>>button
    Select FG for Code category, and then select your elements in order and
    click the Apply Code to Formula after each one. Then when your formula is
    complete hit the ADD button. All should be well.

    Ok, I made a mistake in the order. (not that it should matter)
    I'm Taking the PVI Elevation and subtracting the FG Elevation.

    It's coming up with just labeling the PVI elevation, not the difference.
    Here's my code in the Formula Data...

    [116|1201]-[116|1001]

    Any thoughts why this isn't doing the subtraction?

    Thanks,

    Angry Re: Calling all Sheet Manager Experts

    Still not working. It seems that there is some kind of limitation. When I'm in the Text Edit Format Dialog and chose the Code Category of "FG Centerline" Then I chose the Code for VC PVI Elev and Apply Code to Formula, then pick Code for Elevation and Apply Code to Formula. So that I have [116|1201]-[116|1001]. I then Add this to the Format Order Box.

    I'm seeing that the Code Category is now gray scaled and cannot be picked. I'm also seeing that under the available codes, there is no Elevation anymore. Just PVI Elev.

    Anymore thoughts? It just seems that these two codes can't work together. But they should!
