Hi,
*EDIT: I found that these are actually Graphic Manipulators, is it possible to convert these to actual annotations?
Does anybody know if it is possible to export the slope wedges (see figure) from a Superelevation section to a DWG file. Viewing the wedges in ORD is great, but we need to be able to create XREFs for our Civil3d folks. I don't really care about the Superelevation fill (colors), the wedges are what we need in a DWG format.
Is there a hidden setting somewhere or does ORD not have the function readily available. Whenever I export the file to .DWG, it won't bring the wedges with it.
I'm using 10.10.21.4
Kind regards,
I am not aware of a way to get these to export or annotate. If you are leveraging you superelevation into a corridor/terrain, you could potentially develop a label that you could place at these critical locations that would then export. If you aren't already doing a terrain, it might be quicker to just manually annotate them.

Hi Steve,
That was kind of the answer that I was afraid of, these Slope Wedges are the closest thing to the Crossfall Checker in MX. I'll have another look at creating a custom label. Thanks for you help!
As Steven suggested, it will be quicker to manually annotate them.
I'm involved in a project with mixed design software (both ORD and cilvil3d), and we (ORD) supply a list with the Superelevation changes for every alignment. The civil3d folks then import this list onto the civil3d alignment and use the civil3d annotation.
I didn't want to presume C3D on the other end. If you are working with (or have access to) Civil 3D, it might be worth looking at an export > Import process for the transfer. I haven't explored this directly, but a little Excel wizardry in the middle you might be able to come up with, if not a seamless process, one that isn't quite manually labeling that content.
Do you have any idea where ORD saves those Graphic Manipulators (or the labels that it uses)?
We have a system in place to create the annotation in Civil3D, but are trying to figure out if it is possible to do it in ORD only since the process takes up some time.
