Save commonly used combinations of design checks in a design check set, which is then applied to an alignment.
After you create a design check , save it with an appropriate combination of other design checks in a design check set. A design check set can be applied to an alignment either during the alignment creation process, or through the properties of an existing alignment.
A design check set consists of design checks for a combination of design check types. For example, you can create a design check set that consists of separate design checks for minimum and maximum A values for spirals, minimum radii for curves, and minimum spiral transition lengths.
Design check sets are created and managed in the same manner as label sets. Use the Design Check Set dialog box, which is similar to the Label Set dialog box, to create and edit design check sets.
Design checks validate the type of entity for which they were created, whether the entity is independent entity or a sub-entity in a tangent intersection group. For example, a curve design check validates a curve that is part of a spiral-curve-spiral group. However, a design check that validates the properties of a curve in spiral-curve-spiral groups does not validate the same properties of a standalone curve.
