Data Shortcuts Transfering Superelevation Data

[ksmith5]

Hi All,

I'm having problems getting superelevation data to transfer to different drawings by means of an alignment data shortcut.  I know alignments hold the superelevation data so I've gone into my alignments data shortcut, input my superelevation data, saved and closed.  Now when I open my finished grade drawing, reference in my alignment and profiles, then create a corridor from that information, my superelevation didn't transfer with the reference. I pulled cross sections and it appears is has no clue there is any superelevation data.  Also, I tried bringing it directly into the drawing I'm doing my corridors in and it errored saying I must be in the parent alignment drawing.  Anyone have any ideas? Data shortcuts are pretty much useless to me if superelevation data doesn't transfer. 

Thanks,

Kevin

I've just tested this.  I was able to create an alignment with superelevation, and then data reference it into a second drawing.  I then checked that the superelevation parameters were available in the second file and added superelevation labels.  I also created a simple corridor and confirmed that it is using the superelevation.

It's amazing what good a night of sleep and  a fresh brain does.  You were completely correct that the superelevation data transfered with the data shortcut.  It was a problem with the assembly.  Thank you for your help.
