525 Crossing point
All ways through or over high fences or walls must be indicated. The symbol may also be used for a gate through or stile over a stone wall (519) or a fence (522) or a pipeline (534).
Colour: black.
Line width 0.18mm
All ways through or over high fences or walls must be indicated. The symbol may also be used for a gate through or stile over a stone wall (520) or a fence (523). Line width was 0.175mm
No symbol is provided in the default.ocd symbol set. The feature may be drawn by using symbol 301.1, lake edge (0.18mm),
This is not a rotatable symbol, but if you make a user defined symbol then they can be rotated with the direction tool and will rotate with the map if the “include symbols” box is checked when the map is turned.
All crossing points over high objects must be shown (High stone wall 521 & High fence 524) and, if possible all on smaller boundaries (Stone wall 519 & Fence 522). Hedges and linear thickets shown with the vegetation, impassable (410) symbol do not look right with the crossing point symbol, just use a gap.
Stile: a crossing point over a wall or fence.
Gate: a man-made gap in a wall or fence kept closed by a gate.
Gates & stiles
Undefined in the default.ocd. The Footbridge (IOF 512) is a poor substitute, but it is very easy to draw in place as it is a user defined object; it is 0.25 rather than 0.18 mm.
Define a new symbol of the correct size
Define the symbol by drawing the object to be used as a horizontal line.
This has the effect of placing the symbol at right angles to your drag. So to draw your new symbol you drag along the boundary, and the gate or stile is at a perfect perpendicular.
