Introduction

Use this command to create alignments in the software from a LandXML file, and to export alignment data out into a LandXML file for use in alternate design packages such as AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Traditionally this command is used to share alignment data with alternate design packages such as AutoCAD Civil 3D.

If designers are porting data between CSD on the AutoCAD platform and CSD on the AutoCAD Civil 3D platform, use LandXML to share surface and alignment data across the platforms.

Details

Upon selecting the command the following form is displayed:

All On Ticks on all alignments in the list for export to a Land XML files
