Editing Alignments Numerically
At times, you may want to adjust your design by telling Civil 3D the exact dimen-
sion of a portion of the alignment. This can be done in one of two different ways.
The first is Alignment Grid View, which opens a tab in Panorama. This tab shows
the geometry of the alignment in table form and enables you to edit some of the
values to adjust the design.
Exercise 5.5: Edit Alignments using
Alignment Grid view
In this exercise, you'll edit the Jordan Court alignment using the Alignment
Grid View command.
If you haven't already done so, go to the topic's web page at
