Command Description
The Insert Alignment Table command allows the user to create a customisable table that describes the horizontal or vertical geometry that was used to create the selected alignment and display it in the plan view.
At the top of the command pane there is the ability to load and save a settings file. Once you have populated the command with the appropriate settings you can save it in a file that can be reloaded in the future.
- In the Horizontal Alignment tab click in the Alignment selection field and in the graphic view or project explorer select the alignment string. A preview of the Table data should display below the alignment selection field.
- With the alignment selected choose either the Horizontal or Vertical tab depending on what geometry you would like to be contained in the table. If you require both then set the Table property values on both tabs and apply them separately. The Apply button works on the tab that is currently active.
