START MARKING

This function is used to indicate a single marking start, in which case the operator will be prompted to indicate the start position or to create marking starts on all marking lines automatically.

Parallel marking is supported (both vertically and horizontally) but only when all marking starts are created automatically.

GSD's are treated together with marking lines in this function if the default parameter GSDMARK_SEPARATE is set to No. Otherwise the GSD's will be treated after the marking lines.

The PLCM contains an option to only mark a part of those marking lines that are connected to blasting lines (controlled by RASTER_MARKING. The raster marking will be made parallel if possible, and the length of each raster mark is given by the default parameter RASTER_MARK_LENGTH. The position of the mid point of the raster markings are controlled with RASTER_MARK_DIST.
