Method Type
Sets a placement method for the feature's geometry type.
Linear Feature Name

Use Form View
If on, properties display in a scrollable form and placement is automatically determined.
Show Properties At Placement
If on, the feature's properties display in the tool setting window during placement. Turn this on if the feature uses PBS rules since the property Type determines the symbology to use.

Annotation Options
If on, sets those annotation methods for the feature. If Away or Leadered are turned on, the required annotation features are also added.
Place On
Used for cell and equipment placement when Method Type is Place Cell On. Determines the linear feature on which to place a cell.
Place On Property
Used for cell and equipment placement when Method Type is Place Cell On. Determines the property name whose boolean value specifies if a cell is placed on a linear feature. The given property is added to the operation properties for the feature.
If a property name is not provided, Place Cell On processing is performed. If a valid property with a false value is provided, Place Cell Free processing is performed.
Cell Angle
Used for equipment placement. Sets the angle to rotate a cell off a linear tangent.
