How to check which alignment was used for a transition control?

[Anonymous]

How to retrieve the information of the names of alignments that were applied for transition controls?
If I take over a LDD project from others and without any explanation from them, how to get the idea on what alignments were involved for transition control?

ancient ldt mystery....

The best way I come up with to keep track of this is to include the
transistion name in the alignment name. granted this can get snotty but it
works for me.

Note using a coded name protocol as apposed "my street name" for alignments
will save you some grief.

Ex: main alignment = CL01

transition alignments CL01-L1, CL01-L2.....CL01-R1, CL01-R2....

Sanitary runs associated to cl01: CL01-S01,S02....

SAME FOR DRAINAGE

I do something very similar to what Joe described.
It seems to work pretty well.

In addition to that - I try to provide documentation for anyone coming in to work on the project. See attached for an example. The example should also include station information, but in this case all alignments are used for the entire road.

Of course - C3D makes this kind of data managment much easier.

The Alignment's "description" comes in quite handy for clearing things up
also.

I'm glad you brought that up for those of us pondering the change-of-tools

Don -

Yes - great point.
I don't know how many times I see the description empty.

Too easy to accomplish the "fill-in" when the Alignment is being created.
