    Default alignment Data

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    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
