Hello all,
While I am editing a horizontal geometry, I come across with the problem captured with gif below, which is inconsistent behaviour of alignment.
I am also having the same error in 2021 R1
Thank you.
Thanks for your quick response guys.
As a palliative solution we will use circle objects and spaping PI point to centers.
Simplify geometry doesn't do anything even after deactivating rules.
"Insert fillet" command in modify menu stil protects the integrity of the complex element while inserting new PI but there is no remove PI command like that. If anybody knows a way of removing PI other than Table Editor, it will fix most of our problem for now.
You can use the legacy "Drop complex" tool to drop the alignment down to it's core elements... remove the segments and add single element removing the PI. Recomplex the alignment using the create complex tool ensuring the feature name is the same as what you dropped.

It appears to me that you have hit upon one of ORD's greatest weaknesses - its almost nonexistent support for iterative design. This has frustrated me to no end. It's to the point where I've taken it back to InRoads SS2 where it's quicker to revise the geometry and rerun the corridor than it is to simply revise the geometry in ORD.
I have occasionally had luck using the MicroStation "Delete Vertex" tool to delete PIs. Use it once to delete the curve and a second time to delete the PI itself. I don't know how that will affect your trouble moving PIs.
I didn't think the legacy vertex delete command could work. After I have tried, I could only get partial results. Geometry is still PI-based after vertex delete (as you said first one for deleting curve and second one for the PI point), but silly situations can still occur at the PI points.
Actually the iterative design process works pretty well as long as you don't add or subtract PI points. I expected geometry creation and editing to be the most robust part of the program, but I've been following it since 2018 and things still haven't worked out completely. It will be enough if everything works as in SS2.
In addition, maybe someone knows how to export the legacy ALG geometry file? Just to check if it works in SS2.
