Hello all

I want to fill out my alignment table with good stuff like "bearings, distances, deltas, radius and so on"

The only way I know how to do get alignment report to use on my table is to:
under Alignments menu>Edit Alignment Geometry....
-----On the Comand line: Select Alignment (I select alignment)
-----"Alignment Layout Tools" appears
under it
-----I pick "Pick sub-entity" then
-----"Alignment Layout Parameter" appears
then i select a line or curve to get bearing/distance/radius and so on

Is this the way to do it on Civil 3D? I believe there should be an easier away to get alignment report. (Inroads program does it pretty straight)

Any help?

thank you

Did you try Alignments > Add Tables?
You can set up a table style unde Toolspace > Settings > Alignment > Table Styles

Yes I did,

Table>Add Line
'Table Creation' dialog box appears.
After i fill in the numbers of rows and colomns, then I pick
"pick from drawing"
On the command line it prompt: Select "alignment Lines':
so i select alignment and oopps
Comand line return "Nothing selected"
I know, for sure, that i have selected the crazy alignment
What am i doing wrong? That is why i was doing it the long way!

By the way my alignment is a one element, is this the issue and if so how can i separate the alignment to have each element on it's own?

Before you can make an alignment table, you need to label the alignment first... Alignments > Add Alignments Labels > Add Alignments Labels

Would the Reports Manager help with this? General > Reports Manager (it opens in Toolspace)

Hello Ipserfert and Rustysilo,

your ideas worked! I like the Alignments>Add Alignment Labels>Multiple Segment more because it creates a table automatically after I go to Alignments>Add tables>Add segments. It’s awesome!

Thank you
