Intersection Wizard--Curb Return

[bruce.klug]

Our survey department always starts each alignment at 10+00 going AWAY from the intersection This is a problem with the 4 way intersection also. I have to join the alignments and reverse the direction so I end up with only 2 alignments that meet at the intersection.

Just asking; why not have a design centerline, in your DESIGN file(s) that is contiinous (normal)
And then let the Surveyors have their own alignments that do whatever they think they need to do with them, in a SURVEY file, or on Survey Layers?

I wont ask you to explain why, because I'm sure someone has gone to a lot of work to justify doing them that way. And they certainly wont change just becuase someone asks them to.

I've been in this business since 1978, and have never worked anywhere that wanted to treat alignments in that manner. And if you think about it logically they can not ALL start at Ten plus Zero Zero and go away from an intersection. Like what happens from block to block? Somewhere in the middle does it start counting down to 10+00 again?
