  2. Press ENTER to accept the default, Radius, and then enter 700 m for the Radius.

  3. Select the second tangent line, and then select the third tangent line.

  4. Press ENTER to accept the default, Radius, enter 700 m for the Radius, and then press ENTER.

The three tangent segments are connected with circular curves to complete the bridge abutment alignment.
