Layer for tick lines (TICLAY=)

Defines the layer in which the new tick lines will be placed.

Tick mode (TICMOD=)

Defines the method to use for line ticking. Options are “Distance” (TICMOD=0) and “Tick line ends only” (TICMOD=1). The Distance setting ticks a line each Tick distance from the start of the line. The “Tick line ends only” ticks only the beginning and end of the line.

Tick distance (TICDIS=)

Defines the distance between tick lines. This parameter is entered in ground units.

Tick length left (TICLEF=)

Defines the tick line length to the left of the base line looking upstream. This parameter is entered in ground units.

Tick length right (TICRIG=)

Defines the tick line length to the right of the base line looking upstream. This parameter is entered in ground units.

Batch Mode

Layer of lines to tick (SEALAY=)

Workspaces to consider (WS= or WSTC=)

The current workspace (WS=0) or all open workspaces (WS=1) may be searched when ticking lines.

Run (RUN)

Runs tick line in batch mode. This is normally used when running Tick Line from a macro.  The following is a sample macro that starts Tick Line, sets parameters, and runs the application:

TicLin

SEALAY=1-10 23 25

WS=0

TICLAY=55

TICMOD=0

TICDIS=100

TICLEF=25

TICRIG=75
