The plug-in also exports alignment labels, including major and minor station label groups. Label text and lines export for each label group.
The plug-in also gets the alignment from the following properties in the Alignment Style window:
Alignment color: On the Display tab, from the View Direction drop-down, select Model. In the Component display table, in the Color column, click the color picker.
Note: If the alignment color is white, it exports as the default export color, green, so that the alignment is visible in the Platform viewer.
