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 elements Use the constraint-based commands on the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, to add a fixed element, a free element, or a floating element (lines, curves, transition-curve-transition groups and transitions) to the alignment.
Edit alignment numeric parameter values Use the Alignment Elements vista and Alignment Layout Parameters dialog box to display and edit parameters of alignment elements that are part of the solved alignment geometry.
Edit the alignment using grips Use grips to change the vertical curves and straights 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.
