Superelevation ASCII Format
The ASCII tab on Build Superelevation Transitions dialog box can import and export ASCII files containing superelevation transition information. This section describes the file format.
The superelevation ASCII file is pipe delimited. The first row of the file is a header describing the subsequent columns. Each of the subsequent columns describes a single entry (one row) in the
superelevation-application station list, found on the Main tab of the Build Superelevation Transitions dialog box.
The following excerpt illustrates what the file looks like (the actual file is over 700 characters wide).

The following list maps each column in the file format to the corresponding gadget on the Superelevation Transition dialog box, which is for editing a superelevation-application station. To activate the
Superelevation Transition dialog box, click Edit on the Main tab of the Build Superelevation Transitions dialog box.
