My Alignment Has A Blackhole


Recommended Posts

Posted

While inserting station/offset labels, there is a certain area where the labels are not picking up the alignment. As I move the label around, it will grab the alignment "field" per se. This void gets wider and wider as I move a label further away from the alignment since it's right near a curve in the alignment.

 

I recreated the alignment, which did not fix the problem. Everything past that point is fine as you can see in the pic. I drew a line from the endpoint of the leader with the ???? perpendicular to the alignment, inserted a label at that point and it reads properly. I audited the drawing and restarted CAD.

 

Thoughts?

Nevermind. I realized that the curves were not drawn tangent. Fixed

So I'm having this problem again. However, this time there is no curve. Rather, a simple change in direction. In the picture, there is one horizontal line draw perpendicular to the centerline, and another drawn to the centerline perpendicular to the line of the other direction. As you move away from centerline, a gap is formed. How can I solve this gap?

Fixed.

 

So I split the PI with a distance of

Personally if it wasn't working as desired, I would have just manually calc'd the point and wrote/typed it in.

 

It is nice to know a fix though.
