The mobile pictograms are only useful for work on axis.

They are intended to move dynamically with the segments of the axis which are being executed.

The video below illustrates the benefit of mobile pictograms:

_

For mobile pictograms to be of interest, the following conditions must be met:

• Having created axis on the base plans (see addition of axis)
• Have associated an axis with an activity AND this association has a mobile execution (see Multizone, impact, right-of-way (RoW) and execution mode)

Creating a profile is done from the Options menu - Manage mobile pictogram profiles

Once the profile is created, you will be able to add as many images inside as needed. To do this, select the profile in the left side panel and then click on the + in the right panel.

For each image, you will have to define different attributes:

• The name to more easily identify your image,
• Vertical positioning in order to position the pictogram above, below or on the segment,
• The location to determine if the pictogram will be at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the segment or its extent,
• The rotation as well as the absolute/relative position of the pictogram in relation to the orientation of the segment,

The size of the pictogram in the unit of your choice.

The association of a pictogram profile with an activity is done from the tab Zones in the activity editing window.

The association is therefore made at the level of the axis and for the pictogram to be mobile, the Execution must be MOBILE on the axis :

If you try to add a profile to a zone, it simply won't work:
