Hi - hope someone can help, please. I exported my design from MX in LandXML format, which I know from experience loses the cant. That's all okay, though. But I've gone through the steps to add the cant and re-export the XML, but am having some trouble. It's quick and easy to import/tweak cant/re-export in BRT, but I really would like to get used to doing it in ORD.
My steps:
- I imported the LandXML file into ORD using the Import Geometry tool
- Used the Speed Table function because I couldn't add cant without defining that (is this normal? It's not a step I've needed to do when doing this process in BRT)
- Used the Create Cant on my centreline... and so far so good!
- Time to use Export Geometry... and it seem to work! But when checking the export, I noticed what seems like a problem.
I can see the chainage is correct for my horizontal and vertical parts of the design, but the cant simply starts at 0m chainage (it should be 271670m start) and the end point is the extent of the job (in this case 1600m in length).
Have I missed a step? Is there some disconnect between the chainage for the Hz/Vt and the chainage for the cant? If so, how can I tie them together? When I use the Cant Report tool, it shows the correct chainage, so I'm a bit puzzled.
Any help would be fantastic, please. Thanks.
Unfortunately you didn't miss anything. There is a bug.
Defect 1097561:Geometry>Export XML: stationing not used for cant
I am investigating why it is not fixed in 10.10.01.03 (reported in 10.09)

Hi - just confirming that I've managed to export an XML file successfully from ORD 10.11.00.115 / CE 2022 Release 1 Update 11 and the chainage for the cant now shows as expected. Thanks for the fix!
