Editing a Road Alignment
To edit an alignment, you can either edit the geometry and redefine
the alignment, or edit the alignment data from within the Horizontal
Alignment Editor.
Use the Horizontal Alignment Editor to edit individual curve, tangent,
and spiral geometry, and to generate reports based on the alignment.
When you save changes, drawing objects are automatically updated,
so you do not need to redefine the alignment geometry.
Key Concepts
■
The Horizontal Alignment Editor is dynamically linked to the
drawing. Changes that you make in this editor update the
alignment in the drawing automatically.
■
You can use the Horizontal Alignment Editor to edit PIs (Points of
Intersection) and alignment curves and spirals.
■
The editor is similar to a spreadsheet. You must select inside the
cell that you want to edit.
■
To change the alignment properties, such as the alignment layer,
color, linetype, or description, use the Modify Properties command
from the Alignments
➤
Alignment Commands menu.
