Joining Arcs and Lines together
Joining Arcs and Lines together
(OP)
A series of lines and arcs have been put together (in Microstation) and imported into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014. The lines and arcs are connected to form a concept road alignment.
I now have to get the total length of these alignments. I am finding the only way I can do that is by joining them together and using the LIST command. However I am having trouble joining the lines and arcs. I tried the PEDIT. I go through all of the steps, but in the end, 0 items are joined. Is there something I am missing?
Please help!

When I zoom in, they look pretty attached. I even tried FILLET at a radius of zero and still was unable to join them. I read somewhere that it might have something to do with the elevation. I did try the command FLATTEN. Not sure what happened. I can't remember how to check the Z position of a point.
I did think about laying a line over them, but there are a lot of arcs. Seems like it may be my only option.

Are they true arcs, or are they splines? (To the best of my info, splines can't be joined to polylines)

This has previously happened to me with 3D alignments from MX.

I Occupant's advice and just did an overlay polyline.
I wasn't sure how to figure out if the lines I imported were splines or arcs.
Seemed to be the simplest way...
Thanks for your responses!
