Add and edit alignment tables

00:05

In this video, we're going to talk about tables, specifically about our alignment table.

00:10

We've already created one in this drawing, but just to reiterate, the way we created this alignment table was,

00:16

by going to the Add Tables in the Annotate tab of the ribbon bar and selecting Alignment and then going to Add Segment.

00:24

If we wanted to create a table just for curves or just for lines or just for spirals,

00:29

we could do that by selecting these additional options above and place them in.

00:35

And that might work well for a large roadway where you want to have all of your lines together and all of your curves together.

00:43

We got a relatively short table, so this one's okay.

00:46

But what I want to go ahead and do is discuss if you did have a really long table and you needed to break it up, how could you do that?

00:52

So if we need to break up this table, we're going to go ahead and go to Table Properties.

00:57

And then inside of Table Properties, under Split Table, if you need to break up the table because it's too tall,

01:04

let's say for example, in this one we only wanted it to be 3 tall maximum.

01:10

So I would say maximum rows for table, 3.

01:13

And then if I needed to, I could extend my maximum tables per stack, but 3 will be acceptable for this.

01:21

Then our offset and how we want to do it, if we want to do it across or down.

01:25

And then our behavior for this table, we're going to leave it as dynamic.

01:29

So I'm going to go ahead and click "OK".

01:30

And what you'll see happen is that I now have three in this stack and then I go over and the remaining two go into a new stack.

01:40

And so this is a great thing to have if you have a specific window that you need to have all of your tables fit inside,

01:47

and you can only fit 10 in a stack before you need to move on to the next stack over.

01:52

And so, say, you had 30 segments that you had labeled inside of a table, then you'd have three stacks next to each other.

01:59

And you could do in vertical or horizontal based on the settings that you have for that table information that we went into and modified.
