Used to define a station equation at a designated location on an element.

You can access this tool from the following:

A The Add Station Equation tool defines a station equation at a designated location on an element. If stationing has not been previously defined, then a zero starting station is also assigned. This tool can be used on a civil element or a plain MicroStation graphic. Multiple station equations can be added to an element, but should be added in order from the beginning to end of element. To remove station equations, use the Project Explorer.

Preferences

Many of the preferences for stationing such as decimal places, location of plus sign, etc. are controlled within the Design File Settings. (link to Design File Settings).

Project Explorer and Properties

Any element to which station equations are assigned reports those in its properties. Station values can be edited in the properties as alternative to using the manipulators.
