The vertical alignment (VAL) must be equal in length or greater than
the horizontal alignment. The HAL must not be greater than the
VAL.
Creating an Alignment
In this step-by-step example, we will create an alignment that has all
the possible horizontal and vertical segment types.
1. Select
 -RE , (GLW $OLJQPHQWV from the Main
Menu. If any alignments exist in the current
job, they will be listed in this screen. An
existing alignment can then be edited or
deleted, but for this example, we will create a
new alignment.
2. Tap
1HZ« to create a new alignment. This
will open the Edit Alignments screen where
you can begin adding horizontal and vertical
segments.
3. Tap the POB tab and enter North , East and
Elev coordinates of 5000 , 5000 , 100 . This will
be the starting location of the horizontal and
vertical definition. (Alternatively, you could
define the starting location by tapping the
/RFDWLRQ / 3RLQW button where 3RLQW
is displayed and then select an existing
point.)
