The LOCK SYMBOL ANGLE command sets the default symbol angle to match a selected straight edge. It is used to align symbols with walls that do not run in a North-South or East-West direction.
To lock the symbol angle select Dungeon > Lock Symbol Angle:
1 The prompt reads "Select straight edge:". Use the pick box to select a wall to which you want to lock the symbol angle.
2 Place a symbol. It will be at the same angle as the straight edge.
If you get the error message "No Definition exists for Square Fill" select Dungeon > Add Definitions then repeat the command.
Lock Symbol Angle Tips
· If you Lock Symbol angle and find that the symbol is 180 degrees out, lock symbol angle again, selecting the opposite end of the straight edge.
· If you Lock Symbol angle and find that the symbol is 90 or 270 degrees out, press the right mouse button, and type -90 or -270 as appropriate after the angle in the "Rotation XY" box.
To lock along a curve, draw a Perpendicular Line from the point on the curve, then select Lock Symbol angle on this line.
NOTE: Wall Features symbols align automatically to entities as of version 6.
