    Wiki: OpenRoads Designer[Geometry]: Point Abbreviations for Horizontal & Vertical Alignment

                       Product(s): OpenRoads Designer
    Version(s): 10.07.03+
    Area: Geometry
    Original Author: Purva Lakde. Product Advantage Group

    Question:

    Where can I find the meaning of the shortcuts for the "horizontal points" and the "vertical points" under Managing Drawing-Annotation as shown in the below snapshot ?

    Answer:

    Below are the Point Abbreviations used with commands like Review Horizontal Alignment, Review Vertical Alignment, View Stationing, reports and others. These abbreviations are saved to the civil.xin.

    PC - point of curvature

    SS - spiral-to-spiral point

    PVC - point of vertical curvature

    PI – point of intersection

    EQN - station equation

    PVI - point of vertical intersection

    CC - center of curvature

    EQNBK - station equation back

    PVT - point of vertical tangency

    PT – point of tangency

    EQNAHD - station equation ahead

    PVCC - point of vertical compound curve

    TS - tangent-to-spiral point

    POB - point of beginning

    PVRC - point of reverse vertical curve

    SC - spiral-to-curve point

    POE - point of ending

    POVT - point on vertical tangent

    CS - curve-to-spiral point

    EVT - event point

    POVC - point on vertical curve

    ST - spiral-to-tangent point

    POT - point on tangent

    VEVT - vertical event point

    SPI - spiral point of intersection

    POC - point on curvature

    VLOW - vertical low point

    PCC - point of compound curvature

    POS - point on spiral

    VHIGH - vertical high point

    PRC - reverse curvature

    COGO - cogo point
