To Export Corridor Feature Lines

You can export corridor feature lines as polylines, grading feature lines, alignments, and profiles.

Note: Exported feature lines are not connected to the corridor and are not updated if the corridor changes.

To export corridor feature lines as polylines

Use this option if you want to use the corridor geometry for another purpose, such as for drafting or for surface data.

1. Click Home tabCreate Design panelCreate Polyline From Corridor Find.
2. In the drawing, click the corridor feature line. If you make an ambiguous selection, the Select A Feature Line dialog box is displayed. Select a feature line from the list.

   The feature line is exported as a polyline. The feature line’s point code is displayed at the command line.

To export corridor feature lines as grading feature lines

Use this option to create a feature line that grading commands recognize and use as a grading baseline or target.

1. Click Home tabCreate Design panelFeature Line drop-downCreate Feature Line From Corridor Find.

   You can also access this command by selecting a corridor in the drawing, and clicking Corridors tab Launch Pad panel Feature Lines From Corridor.

2. In the drawing, click the corridor feature line you want to export. If you make an ambiguous selection, the Select A Feature Line dialog box is displayed. Select a feature line from the list.
3. In the Create Feature Line From Corridor dialog box:
   • Select the Name check box and enter a name for the feature line.
   • Click the Create Dynamic Link To The Corridor check box to maintain a link between the feature line and the corridor.
4. If more than one site exists in the drawing, the Pick A Site dialog box is displayed. Select a site.

5. The feature line is exported as a grading feature line.

   Note: Grading feature line objects are not named components in AutoCAD Civil 3D. The style for the feature line is derived from the corridor object properties for the point code from which the feature line was derived.

To export feature lines as alignments

Use this command if you want to apply an alignment style or label set, or to view a specific feature line in profile view.

1. Click Home tabCreate Design panelAlignment drop-downCreate Alignment From Corridor Find.
2. In the drawing, select a corridor feature line to export. If you make an ambiguous selection, the Select A Feature Line dialog box is displayed. Select a feature line from the list.
3. Enter the required data in the Create Alignment - From Objects dialog box.
4. Select another feature line to export as an alignment or press Enter to end the command.

   The feature line(s) is exported as an alignment and can be viewed and edited in the ToolspaceProspector tree.

To export feature lines as profiles

Profiles that are exported from corridor feature lines are listed in Prospector under the baseline alignment from which the original corridor feature line is derived.

1. Click Home tabCreate Design panelProfile drop-downCreate Profile From Corridor Find.
2. In the drawing, select the corridor feature line to export. If you make an ambiguous selection, the Select A Feature Line dialog box is displayed. Select a feature line from the list.
3. In the Create Profile - Draw New dialog box, enter the required data.

   The message “<profile name> is created” is displayed at the command line. If you have any profile views in the current drawing for the baseline alignment, the new corridor profile is added to it and displayed with the selected style.

4. Select another feature line to export as a profile or press Enter to end the command.

   The feature line(s) is exported as a profile and can be viewed and edited in the ToolspaceProspector tree.
