■ When you select the alignments to export, you can also choose to export
profiles, cross sections, and Interactive Highway Safety Design Model
(IHSDM) data.
■ Use the Export Data Options to control the data precision, the imperial
unit foot type, the units of exported angles and directions, and whether
to export raw descriptions, full descriptions, or both.
■ Use the Export File Options to control the level of detail contained in the
exported file.
■ You can export point references for surfaces, alignments, and parcels.
Point references substitute references to COGO points instead of using
coordinates for the geometric points on an alignment or parcel.
