Station Equations
PCA = PIA - TA
PIB = PTA + x2 - TA
PCB = PIB - TB
PTB = PCB + LB
X2 =3520.13
Enter
Select object to trim: Click on each exterior
tangent, and hit Enter
Zoom Extents
Draw Curves using circle command
>Draw >Circle >Tan, Tan, Radius
Enter Tangent Spec: Select 1st Tangent
Line
Enter Second tangent Spec: Select 2nd
Tangent Line
Radius: Enter Radius (1315) and Press
Enter
Add Stationing
Create new layer named tick and make it the
current layer
Draw a tick mark, away from the roadway that
is approx. 25 units long
Height = 40
Rotation = E
Label PCs, PTs and PIs
ZOOM to first curve
Draw Perpendicular line from first end point
of first curve to ROW.
>Draw Line
From Point: End
Click near beginning of first curve, press enter
To Point: PER for Perpendicular snap
Select the ROW line
Select the line you have just drawn and drag
the end of the line several units away from the
ROW line (use object snap to lengthen line).
Lengthen line to accommodate PC station text
Draw text to label the appropriate PC or PT
station (Height = 40, Rotation = E)
Repeat process for the other curve station
labels.
Also place labels near the PIs.
Zoom extents and thaw the EOP and Shoulder
layers
Create Blow-up of ROW for dimensions
Create a layer called blow-up and make it
current.
Draw circle around a small portion of ROW
>Draw >Circle >Center, Diameter
Click near centerline of roadway
Diameter = 300
trimmed
Base Point: Click near center of circle
Scale Factor = 3
Add ROW Dimensions
Zoom in on the Blow-up
>Dimension >Dimension Style
Should have Dimension dialogue box
Modify... Symbols and Arrows
Arrow Size = 40
Text
Text height = 80
Exit the dimension dialogue box
Dimension ROW
>Dimension >aligned
Select one side of ROW using the NEAR osnap
Select other side of ROW using PER osnap
Click on dimension
Text override = 140 (Not 420 caused by
scaling)
Repeat for EOP and Shoulder
Create another layer North Arrow
Make this the current layer
Copy northa.dwg from M:\CE 321 Spring 2015\
drive and paste it in X:\CE321\ (your CE321
folder).
>Insert >DWG Reference
X:\CE321\northa.dwg
Check Specify location on screen.
Uncheck scale specify on screen.
Set rotate 90E
Click OK and place the north arrow near your
drawing.
Delete any extraneous text, blocks, lines etc.
