Workflow: To Design and Edit Alignments

Create alignments by layout, from polylines, from pipe networks, and from LandXML data.

Create the alignment Draw an alignment, or create one from a polyline, reference, pipe network, or LandXML file.
Edit alignment fixed, floating, or free entities Use the constraint-based commands on the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, to add a fixed entity, a free entity, or a floating entity (lines, curves, spiral-curve-spiral groups and spirals) to the alignment.
Edit alignment numeric parameter values Use the Alignment Entities vista and Alignment Layout Parameters dialog box to display and edit parameters of alignment entities that are part of the solved alignment geometry.
Edit the alignment using grips Use grips to change the vertical curves and tangents in an alignment graphically.

Add final labels to the alignment Use the label and table styles to control the appearance and behavior of alignment labels and tables.
Assign a style for viewing and plotting Use alignment styles to control the visual display of each alignment component.
Create plan/profile sheets for plotting Use plan production tools to quickly create construction documents from drawings.
