Corridor plotting

[Anonymous]

I have a couple of problems with plotting corridors for construction plans:
1) Is there a way to turn off the section lines or put them on a no-plot
layer? 2) Is there a way to control the layers on which individual feature
lines of the corridor appear (face of curb, flange, back of walk, etc.)?

yes. code set style.

The only problem I have with that is that because feature lines are 3d
polylines, the linetype generation will not work. This means I have to
export the feature lines to polylines, flatten them, and convert them to
2d polylines before the linetypes will show correctly.

i personally dislike using the corridor for anything other than a road model. I find the linework that is part of the corridor or extracted from the corridor is not good enough for my legal plans or even my pretty plans. i typically advise people to freeze the corridor object layer and build their road linework the old fashioned way.

code set styles are neat for concept work, quick rendering and hatching, but the tesselation and 3d properties of the elements are just cruddy for plats. etc.
