Hello all Many thanks to all who responded including a fellow countryman who offered to complete our little task (for free?) Thanks David
Summary >From Uffe Kousgaard Our ToolBox should be able to do so with the "Add Nodes" function. Just use a "modolus 250 m" function when choosing between tic marks or distance annotation in labeling. Kind regards Uffe Kousgaard www.routeware.dk Jacques as usual had an answer. Great solution but I couldn't find how to annotate the ticks HATCH on our site www.paris-pc-gis.com/download.htm in the MLC section can add symbols as "ticks" on linear objects. As it produces a specific temporary table, one can add different kinds of ticks by changing starting offset and spacing on the same selected objects However the following little gem suggested by Mark Neuhaus solved our problem of ticking and annotating the polyline Look for "ticks" (does most of what you want) on this page: http://members.iinet.net.au/~haycraft/iaa/iaa11.htm My computer didn't like the mbx, so I had to re-compile the mb source code myself. Works wonderfully for placing ticks along a polyline. And it's FREE. Also a frequently requested program is there that selects objects by drawing style. Other neat stuff too. Wonderful resource.
