Active

Selecting an Alignment as active will set it as the default Alignment that can be assigned to a PinPoint item. This will also make all other Alignments on the screen transparent making it easier to identify what Alignment you want to focus on.

Visible

Toggles the visibility on/off for a specific Alignment.

Name

The name of a specific Alignment as defined in the LandXML file, seen in the Alignments Menu

Interval

This is the interval of which each Alignment Station Annotation will show. (e.g. an interval of 3 will show every 3rd station annotation along the alignment).

Delete

Click the “X” marker to delete a specific Alignment.
