Additional Exercise;
Having completed this section, you should now be able to provide basic labeling for alignments. This includes station label groups (incremental station labels, ticks, and geometry points), station/offset labels, segment labels, tag labels, and tables. The ability to communicate your design effectively through annotation is almost as important as the design itself. Although it is changing very quickly, the current state of the industry is such that most land development projects are constructed from paper plans. When this is the case, your annotations become even more important than your design because they provide the labeled stations, bearings, distances, and curve data that are used to stake out the road.For this exercise, open the drawing named Alignment Labels Beyond.dwg located in the Chapter 06 class data folder. The road layout in this drawing is more complete than the other drawings you have opened in this section, but there are no labels. Add annotations to this drawing as follows:
- For all centerline alignments, apply a label set that labels stations, ticks, and geometry points.
- Create station/offset labels for the endpoints of all right-of-way geometry, such as beginning/endings of curves, beginning/endings of straight segments, and corners.
- Create tag labels that start at the beginning of Jordan Court with the number 1.
Madison Lane should be next in the series, and Logan Court should be last. - Create a table in the drawing for each of the three proposed alignments.
- In all cases, reposition labels that clash with other labels or geometry.
