Definitions
X Offset: The distance from the geometric location of the marker along the x-axis. The default value is 0
(zero) pt.
Point
On point
Y Offset: The distance from the geometric location of the marker along the y-axis. The default value is 0
(zero) pt.
Step: The distance between each marker. The distance is calculated from the center of each marker.
Multiple values can be entered. The default value is 10 pt.
Line
Along line
Endings: The position of the marker along a line. The choices are No constraint, With marker, With
gap, With half gap, and Custom. With marker will place a marker on the endpoints of a line. With gap will
put a space equal to the Step value on the ends of the line. With half gap will put a space equal to half of
the Step value on the ends of the line. Custom will fit the pattern to the length of the feature by adjusting

the gaps slightly. No constraint will not adjust the gaps at all, meaning that the pattern is unlikely to
exactly fit the length of the feature. The default value is With half gap.
Position: Indicates where the pattern should begin relative to the starting point of the geometry. It shifts
the entire pattern along the line the specified distance. Negative numbers indicate a shift to the left,
positive numbers a shift to the right. This property has an effect only if Endings is set to No
constraint or Custom. When constructing a representation rule, this property will be dynamically derived
from the Step value and will dynamically update during rule construction or modification when the
Endings property is updated.
Offset at end: Indicates where the pattern should end relative to the ending point of the geometry.
Negative numbers indicate a shift to the left, positive numbers a shift to the right. This property has an
effect only if Endings is set to Custom. When constructing a representation rule, this property will be
