 In road calc menu, Go to “Alignments” then to “View Alignment Graphics”
 From the autocad of the main plan:
 “Layer off” all others exept:”Layer 0,layer Countour,Layer Annot-countour,Layer
countour-idx,layer center line,Layer Grid,Layer Symboles”
 In Road calc menu, Go to “Output” then to “Break lines from Pt code”
 Select pt code “2”,select “Des_Gw”,select “both” and Check on “Extract” options
 Click “Ok”
 Do the same for Pt code “-2”
 In Road calc menu, Go to “Output” then to “Catchlines…”
 Click “ok”
 In Eagle point menu, Go to “Product” then to “Drafting”
 In the “Drafting” Dialog box, Click “Annotate” then “Alignment Stationing”
 Click the “Browse”
 Select your Center line alignment from the AutoCAD
 Click “Apply”
 Click “Close”
 The AutoCAD plan will be your final “Plan Drawing”

4.3.2. Profile
 The profile will be taken from the Visual basic Program.
