Before creating embankments, you need to create configurations, which consists in defining for both types of embankments (normal and wide) the length of the long and short lines and the space between them. Click to open the Configurations dialog.

Parameters for "normal" embankments"

• Distance between long lines: distance between 2 main (long) lines .
• Number of short lines: Number of short lines between 2 main (long) lines.
• Length ratio: Length ratio between a main (long) line and a short line.

Parameters for "wide" embankments

• Distance between 2 lines: distance between 2 lines .
• Initial length of lines: length of lines at the first row (top-line of the embankment).
• Length ratio: Length ratio between lines of consecutive rows.

Common parameters for both types

• Layer: enter a layer name or click to choose in a list. If the layer doesn't exist, it will be created. If it is frozen, lines will be created in this layer however.
• Associative: if this option is checked, the embankment is then associative. So, after a modification is made to the bottom-line(s) or the top-line of the embankment, you can update this embankment by a single click. There's no need to erase old embankment and redraw a new one.
• Create a group: this option is avalaible only if the associative option is unchecked. This allows you to group entities (see AutoCAD help).
• Remark about associativity: embankments are associative, not reactive. This means that, after a modification is made to the bottom or the top of the embankment, re-creation is not automatic. You must click then select the embankment to update. This way of working avoid use of Autocad reactors which cause a lot of crashes.

Saving configuration files: you must save your configurations in the sub-directory "Configurations" of FlashEmb installation directory.
