Alignment Report - Bearing

[Anonymous]

Hi, everyone.  I have an alignment station and curve report question.

We use this report to give to our guys in the field to put into their equipment.  When an alignment begins at the PC of a curve, I need the report to show the bearing going into that curve.  Or it could show the tangent bearing in the curve data.  Is there anyway for me to get the report to show this without me having to write it on the report by hand?

Thanks!

Easiest solution would be to add a small tangent to the beginning of the Alignment. If they are using Trimble softwares download Trimble Link add on for C3D and export the .rxl file. They can load this directly into the Collector.  Most collectors will also read LandXML.  This is what I do and print the report just for their records.
