How to select the polyline used as a corridor target?

VA7GCE — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 22:12:20 GMT

Hi everyone,

is there an easy way to quick select the polyline used as corridor target? as shown in the image attached below, the target polyline has a name/ID, can that be used to select the polyline?

Thanks.

I do not see a way to select the line directly, however, you can highlight it.

With that row selected, go below to the "Select feature lines, polylines, and...." section, and find the layer that has a green box next to it. click on the ellipses (3 dots) to the right. in that list you should see your polyline listed. selecting it, will highlight it in model space and you can then click on it to select it from there...

Not exactly a "Quick" way to select an object but it does get you there.

I put my target plines on layers named specifically for their purpose

I agree with @Joe-Bouza - it takes a little bit more time but it makes a huge difference in the long run

Hello @VA7GCE I understand that in the model you have many polylines and that is why you cannot identify which polyline is the one that is the target of the corridor, the only solution I see is that you eliminate the polylines that could be and see how it affects the corridor, the suggestion of a colleague to assign layers is important, or in any case use parallel alignment.

Thanks for all the suggestions and advises, we typically instruct our CAD users to only use alignments for horizontal targets, but some time people take shortcuts. lol

@VA7GCE , It is also quicker and easier to pick bylayer
