Creating ultimate r/w alignments

Turn on OSnaps

1. Status bar > Object Snap settings menu > select Endpoint
2. Make sure the OSNAPS are turned on.

Create ultimate r/w alignment southwest

3. Ribbon > Home tab > Create Design panel > Alignment dropdown > Alignment Creation Tools
4. Create Alignment - Layout dialog box
   1. Name: Ultimate ROW Southwest
   2. Type: Miscellaneous
   3. Site: None
   4. Alignment style: RW Ultimate
   5. Alignment layer: Browse
      1. Object Layer dialog box
         1. Based layer name: Browse > select P_RW_UltimateOK
      2. OK
   6. Alignment label set: _No Labels
   7. OK
5. Alignment Layout Tools toolbar
   1. Alignment command dropdown > select Tangent-Tangent (No Curves)
   2. Using the Endpoint OSnaps and selecting each point as described: Begin alignment at western most endpoint (SW) of the existing eastbound ROW boundary line. Next point will be at the first convergence of the western most endpoint of the proposed ROW line, continuing to each endpoint along the geometry until it converges with the proposed west side of the southbound ROW line. Last point will be at the southern most endpoint of this ROW line.
   3. Enter to end command
6. Verify alignment appears in Miscellaneous Alignments
   1. Toolspace > Prospector tab > expand Alignments > expand Miscellaneous Alignments > Ultimate ROW Southwest
7. X to close Alignment Layout Tools toolbar

Create ultimate alignment r/w southeast

8. Ribbon > Home tab > Create Design panel > Alignment dropdown > Alignment Creation Tools

9. Create Alignment - Layout dialog box

   All settings should be retained from previous setup except:

   1. Name: Ultimate ROW Southeast
   2. Alignment layer: Browse
      1. Object Layer dialog box
         1. Based layer name: Browse > select P_RW_UltimateOK
      2. OK
   3. OK
10. Alignment Layout Tools toolbar
    1. Select Alignment command dropdown > Tangent-Tangent (No Curves)

    2. Using the Endpoint OSnaps and selecting each point of Proposed SE alignment as described: Begin alignment at southern most endpoint (SE) of the existing northbound ROW boundary line. Next point will be at the first convergence of the proposed ROW line, continuing to each endpoint along the geometry until it converges with the south side of the proposed eastbound ROW line. Last point will be at the eastern most endpoint of this ROW line.

       Tip: Creating the ROW alignments in consistent direction can be beneficial if you need to use them as targets later in the design.

    3. Enter to end command

    2. Using the Endpoint OSnaps and selecting each point of Proposed NE alignment as described: Begin alignment at eastern most endpoint (NE) of the existing westbound ROW boundary line. Next point will be at the first convergence of the proposed ROW boundary line, continuing to each endpoint along the geometry until it converges with the east side of the northbound ROW line. Last point will be at the northern most endpoint of this ROW line.
