Tangent point marker on road centreline?

[R Lundy]

Brand new member so please excuse any wrong terminology (or misplaced CAD terminology!)
I am trying to show the horizontal tangent points on a plan view of the road centreline in Autocad but 12d seems to spit out strings with multiple vertices even when it is exported as 2d info.
Is there a command to show a symbol at tangent points I can export with the road centreline?

Cheers in advance
Ryan

you can assign a super alignment style to it and the tangect points should be highlighted with a symbol.
most of the standard styles will show the ticks / symbols on the line.

set this in the Super Alignment toolbar (hit F6 to edit string)

on the "properties" icon, there will be a label section.
pick style in there, set a chainage interval and apply.
you should see the info you need.

ps. as for autocad displaying spirals as segmented polylines, this is an autocad issue. it cannot generate a true spiral and therefore creates a best fit polyline.

there are other posts in the forum explaining this

If you're looking for more basic labelling of chainages (and ticks), you can also have a look at the Strings->Label->Chainages options in the menus. They are not as dynamic as the Super Alignment Style and don't really have symbols (just ticks), but it's another option.

Sorry,

If you permanently delete models then it does exactly what the option say - it permanently deletes the models.
