i have an existing alignment issued to me which has been created using all
straight lines even where there should be curves. I am trying to insert curves
in these areas. Using free curves (2 entities and a through point) I create a
curve then somethings happen i can't work out - 1. The curve is created but
the original straight linework stays. I would have thought the original
linework would automatically delete. See attached pdf between points 60 and 62
the curve and straights can be seen. 2. Then all stations after the curve are
changed to the question mark symbol. If i click on the alignment all the grips
are still there for the full length of the alignment, indicating the alignment
is still in one piece. 3. If I try to create another curve further along the
alignment it won't allow it. Stating on the command line "Selected entity must
be part of the main entity." I'm using C3D 2009. Any help appreciated.

Joe, Are you saying the issues are due to using free
curves?

Bruce, I've exported one of the alignments to this drawing. I added the first
curve to the segments and the previously stated issues occurred. A curve needs
to be added further along (about 10 metres ) but i can't get the stations to
continue once the first curve is created although all the grips show for the
entire alignment? On the grid view the stations only go to the first curve.
Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ben
Ok, this reply might be a bit on the late side, but I had the same problem lately as well and this solution might be useful for others in the future.
But as for your problem no. 3, the solution for me was this: simply move the grid to the back (draworder) and the alignment to the front and you'll be able to attach more cuves again. Took me a while to figure this out though.
