To create tick marks for each of the Stations in the table turn on Snap to Objects and draw a straight line from one red line to the next. Use the Transform Roll-up to apply a 8.3 percent scale horizontally and vertically. The result is 1 inch long at our scale. By duplicating 11 more and snapping them together you have a pretty accurate ruler. Using the data in the table provided create ticks for all 12 Station lines.
