Creating Offsets

In this exercise, you will add edge of pavement, shoulder, and right-of-way offsets to the alignment.

  1. Zoom to the previous view.

  2. On the Alignments menu, click Create Offsets to display the Alignment Offset Settings dialog box.

  3. In the Outer offset section, enter 0 (zero) m for the Left offset and 25 m for the Right offset.

  4. In the Second offset section, select the Second offset check box, and then enter 6.5 m for both the Left and Right offsets.

  5. In the Inner offset section, verify that the Left and Right offset value is 4.25 m, and then click OK.

The alignment offsets are automatically generated.

When working with the Alignment Offset Settings dialog box, you do not have the option of automatically erasing alignment offset objects. To avoid generating duplicate alignment offset objects click Cancel to exit the Alignment Offset Settings dialog box when you are only checking settings.

This concludes the AutoCAD Land Desktop tutorial.
