Draw Centerline File

This command reads a centerline (.CL) file and plots it as a 2D polyline in the drawing at the proper coordinates. First you are prompted for the layer name for the polyline to be created. There is also an option to specify whether to draw PI lines and specify their length. The Label Centerline option draws station labels using a .STA settings file created by the Save Settings function in the Station Polyline/Centerline command.

Next you are prompted for the file name of the centerline to plot.

The .CL file can be made with the following commands on the Design menu: Polyline to CL File, Centerline Editor or Design Centerline. Drawing the centerline file is a way to check the .CL file data graphically for correctness. If a spiral exists in the .CL file, the spiral will be represented by polyline segments.
