Novapoint Road Library

Use this function to trim the alignment. It is often required to cut and remove the parts at the start and/or ends of the alignment.

• Trim command in CAD is not to be used as it destroys the information of the alignment and the database (Quadri Model) is affected.
• The function makes changes only to the alignment in the drawing
• The data related to the alignment in the database is unaltered.

Run the function from the following locations:

MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Draw Horizontal Alignment:  Trim Alignment
MOUS_ICO Menu: Road > Draw Horizontal Alignment > Trim Alignment…

Command prompts for:
