3 Hover the cursor over the middle symbol in Circle B.
The tooltips are a convenient way to review design criteria violations in
the drawing window. Two violations are displayed in the tooltip:
■ First, the curve does not meet the recommended minimum radius.
The curve radius and minimum acceptable parameter values are both
displayed.
■ Second, the curve violates a design check that has been applied to the
alignment. Notice that the name of the design check is displayed, but
not the current or recommended values. Values are not displayed
because design checks are custom formulas that are created by the
user.
NOTE If a sub-entity violates multiple criteria or design checks, only a single
symbol is displayed on the sub-entity. To clear a symbol from a sub-entity,
all the violations must be cleared.
4 If the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar is not open, select the alignment.
Right-click. Click Edit Alignment Geometry.
5 On the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click Alignment Grid View
.
In the Alignment Entities vista, in rows 2.1 through 2.3, a warning
symbol appears in the No. column, as well as in several other columns.
Warning symbols appear next to each value that violates the design
criteria that are specified in the design criteria file.
