The “Dynamics” provided as additional control when using the Vertical Curve Set tools will lock the VPI points onto an increment of the settings defined on the Dynamics dialog. This includes any point placed by either data points or key-ins, such as SE= or DG=. (pg. 418)

2) The Move PI, Insert PI and Delete PI tools will work whether or not the curves have been placed on the alignment. (pg. 421)

3) When laying out either horizontal or vertical curves, consider the Design Calc button to assist in determining the appropriate values. The Design Calculators work in two primary modes: Compute and Lookup. Compute uses a fixed formula and the Lookup references a physical text file on the hard drive. (pg. 425)
