Adding Free Curves and Spirals to an Alignment

The drawing contains a simple alignment consisting of three tangents. In the next few steps, you will add free curves at circles B and C.
Add a free curve between two tangents
  1. Open Align-2.dwg, which is located in the tutorials drawings folder.
  2. Set your drawing window so that you can see circles B and C on the surface.
  3. If the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar is not open, select the alignment. Right-click and click Edit Alignment Geometry.
  4. In the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click the drop-down list . Select Free Curve Fillet (Between Two Entities, Radius).
  5. As prompted on the command line, click the tangent that enters circle B from the left (the ‘first entity’).
  6. Click the tangent that exits from circle B on the right (the ‘next entity’).
  7. Press Enter to select the default value of a curve less than 180 degrees.
  8. Enter a radius value of 200. The curve is drawn between the tangents as specified.
Add a free spiral-curve-spiral between two tangents
  1. In the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click the arrow next to . Select Free Spiral-Curve-Spiral (Between Two Entities).
  2. As prompted on the command line, click the tangent that enters circle C from the left (the ‘first entity’).
  3. Click the tangent that exits circle C on the right (the ‘next entity’).
  4. Press Enter to select the default value of a curve less than 180 degrees.
  5. Enter a radius value of 200.
  6. Enter a spiral in length of 50.
  7. Enter a spiral out length of 50.
    Note:
    Notice that default values that are shown on the command line.
  8. Exit the layout command by right-clicking in the drawing area.

Creating an Alignment with the Alignment Layout Tools

Specify alignment properties
  1. Open Align-1.dwg, which is located in the tutorials drawings folder.
    The drawing contains a surface marked with several circles, labeled A through D.
    Note:
    Ensure that Object Snap (OSNAP) is turned on.
  2. Click Home tab Create Design panel Alignment drop-down Alignment Creation Tools.
  3. In the Create Alignment – Layout dialog box, for Name, enter First Street.
  4. On the General tab, select the following settings:
    • Site<None>
    • Alignment StyleLayout
    • Alignment LayerC-ROAD
    • Alignment Label SetMajor Minor and Geometry Points
    Setting the site to <None> prevents the alignment from interacting with other objects in the drawing. The <None> selection is helpful when you do not want parcels to be created when either intersecting alignments form closed regions or an alignment crosses an existing parcel.
  5. Click the Design Criteria tab.
    The Starting Design Speed value specifies the default design speed at the alignment starting station. Design speeds can be specified at other stations along the alignment. If no other design speeds are specified, the Starting Design Speed is applied to the entire alignment. Accept the default Starting Design Speed value for this exercise.
    The other options on this tab are used only if you want to ensure that the alignment design meets specified design criteria. You do not apply design criteria to the alignment in this exercise. You will learn how to use the design criteria feature in the Designing an Alignment that Refers to Local Standards tutorial.
  6. Click OK.
    The Alignment Layout Tools toolbar is displayed. It includes the controls required to create and edit alignments.
Draw the alignment
  1. In the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click the drop-down list  and select Curve and Spiral Settings. In the Curve and Spiral Settings dialog box, you can specify the type of curve to be automatically placed at every point of intersection (PI) between tangents.
  2. In the Curve and Spiral Settings dialog box, specify the following parameters:
    • TypeClothoid
    • Spiral InCleared
    • CurveSelected
    • Spiral OutCleared
    • Default Radius350.0000’
  3. Click OK.
  4. On the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click the drop-down list  . Select Tangent-Tangent (With Curves).
  5. Snap to the center of circle A to specify a start point for the alignment.
  6. Stretch a line out, and specify additional PIs by snapping to the center of circles B, C, and D (in order). Then, right-click to end the horizontal alignment layout command.
  7. Pan and zoom in the drawing to examine the style and content of the labels. Note especially the geometry point labels marking the start and end points of each line, spiral, and curve.
