Have you ever setup a style and wanted your text justified?
And when you grip it to drag to the location you want it does not keet its justification?
You wanted left justification....It justifies to the leader side.

Have you ever deleted an alignment or redefined it for some reason and re-ran the profile
for the pipe network that was attached to the modified alignment and the station offset data is missing?

Sick of that Pesky 
dialog popping up all the time??
Turn the darn thing off then...
Set your LAYERNOTIFY=0 and LAYEREVAL=0
Bamm...gone.
Add this to your acad.lsp and it will set it automatically.
(setvar "layernotify" 0)
(setvar "layereval" 0)
It's an oldie.. but a goodie.

Under the Alignment Properties Dialog you have 3 new Tabs:
Point of Intersection, Constraint editing, Design Criteria.
Point of Intersection Tab:
The points of intersection show the relationships between the tangents and curve groups in an alignment.

Quick tip for the newb's....
If you are running C3D and have 2 monitors, split your view with viewport vertically.
This will allow you to have your plan view on one side and maybe your profile or cross sections on the other.
make sure to turn ucsfollow off so the view does not change every time you change active views.

A great little command I ran across is the LINEWORKSHRINKWRAP.
If you have a bounch of boundary lines and you want the area for the outer boundary this will help save a lot of time.
Execute the command and select the linework that you need to create the boundary from.
It will create an outer polyline of your selection as seen in the image.
Great for drainage areas calculations.

A quick tip on labeling your vertical curve data every 10’.
Open up your toolspace, go to the toolbox Tap(oh yea.. forgot about that one..)
Open up reports manager and go down to the Profile section.
Right click on the “incremental stationing report” select Execute
Type in the distance you want to get data on, in this case 10’ and create report.
There you can copy and paste the data into your profile for station and elevation every 10’
