Offset Alignment Routine

[b-man]

We have been playing with offset alignments, and the tool appears very useful, especially in regards to laying out subdivision streets with curb, sidewalks, row, etc. In order to shortcut the process, I am hoping to develop a routine that will gather offset data for each type of offset, and then apply the appropriate styles, label sets, naming convention, etc.

We started going down the path of using Lisp or a recorded macro, but it quickly became obvious (through trial and error and some quick "googling") that another approach may be more suitable. I have attached a screenshot of an example of what we would like to automate.

Any help getting started or push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

I won't suggest to use LISP, instead use Civil 3D .NET API.

You can see a code snippet in the following link in our IM DevBlog -

Creating Offset Alignments using Civil 3D .NET API

Does it help ?

Thanks,
