Alignment - Reversal

[Anonymous]

Is there a procedure or command to reverse an alignment in Civil 3D 2005 / 2006? I have an alignment that needs to have the stationing start from the West and go East. The stationing presently starts in East and goes West. Any help would be appreciated. If this capability is not in 2005 / 2006, is it contemplated?

Thanks, Jim Caldwell

I know this is going to hurt, but did you look at the Alignment drop down
menu? Try the last command. "Reverse Alignment Direction". (2006)

Bill is correct. To add to his answer, the command was added in Civil
3D 2006, so if Jim is using an earlier version, he won't find the
command there. Be aware that anything that was dependent on the
alignment (e.g. superimposed profiles) might have to be recreated after
the reversal of the alignment. It's best to do the reversal before you
get deep into your design.

After you reverse the alignment take a good look at the stationing in the "Alignment properties" dialog box. It may start with a negative station and end at station 0+00.
