line still displays after break command

Ok, that must be based on the OpenRoads Technology then. I have not had much of a chance to work on that platform. I'm sure someone on the other forum can help.

mwlong, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the tracking does not follow the path. The tracking stops when I get to the gap and resumes when I get to the other segment. The alignment was created using SS3 commands, not from the InRoads Explorer (SS2).

In the Project Explorer, under Line Elements, it list all 3 elements. They are named test (original alignment), test 1 (first segment of the break), and test 2 (second segment of the break)

ps - I started a thread in the InRoads forum but wanted to reply to this.

This isn't a Microstation issue - it's is specific to the modification of a Horizontal Alignment created by Power InRoads. Mwlong has the right answer for this situation.

If you try that command on a plain Microstation element (not created by InRoads) you should see that it behaves as expected.

If you have your alignment file loaded in Power InRoads then the entire alignment will most likely highlight since you are only breaking the alignment graphically. If you redisplay the alignment using Power InRoads the segment you deleted will reappear. You did not break the alignment into 2 separate alignments so Power InRoads still recognizes it as one continuous line. Try using Horizontal Tracking and you will see that the tracking will still follow the same path and report stationing in the gap you created.

I only have this problem when I break an alignment [in Power InRoads]

Well, I don't use that product, but my guess is that the alignment may be a cell or other complex element.

You might want to post your question to the appropriate forum.
