To Export Corridor Feature Lines as Polylines, Alignments, or Profiles

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

Note: These exported feature lines are not connected to the corridor and are not updated if the corridor changes. For information about extracting dynamic feature lines from corridors, see To Extract Feature Lines From a Corridor.
