Creating tables
Once you have created all the tag labels and numbered them correctly, you're
ready to create a table. Civil 3D provides four types of alignment tables that you
can insert into your drawing: line, curve, spiral, and segment. A segment table
is a combination of the other three tables.
When you create a table in your drawing, you have full control over which data
is included in it. You can choose to provide table data for the entire alignment, you
can tell Civil 3D to seek out certain label styles and include them in your table, or
you can handpick the labels from the drawing by selecting them directly.
As you'll find with all Civil 3D tables, they are dynamically linked to the
objects for which they display data. In the case of alignments, as the alignment
is modified, the table updates automatically. There is even an option to create
additional table entries as new tangents, curves, or spirals are created in the
process of editing. Imagine how much time is saved by not having to go back
and check all the numbers in a table each time an alignment is tweaked.
