Create Alignment

Description

Create alignment objects by various computational techniques.

Access

Home / Tools / Create / Alignment

Requirements

Depends upon technique used.

Techniques

Create straight segments using the following techniques.

Create circular arc segments using the following techniques.

Create transition curves segments using the following techniques.

Controls

The controls available is dependent upon the technique used.

Control	Description
OK	Compute the vertex location for the current alignment segment.
End	Ends the current alignment and stores it in the project.
Back	Remove the last vertex from the current alignment.
Abort	Cancel the creation of the alignment.

Notes

Alignments are created on the active layer.
The Appearance Attributes of the alignment are set by the layer however you can click the Attributes tab to override the appearance.
Intersection points are automatically created.
You can hide intersection points and circular arc centres in the display options.
Click the Components tab prior to clicking OK to view the components of a circular arc.
In the Create Options, configure the Alignment Velocity and the Horizontal Standard to automatically create curves and combined curves that comply with the design parameters as you create the alignment.
Some create alignment tools are disabled if you apply a horizontal standard in the create options.
