Add a free curve that meets the design standards
1 On the profile view, click the tangent that enters Circle D on the left (the
"first entity").
2 Click the tangent that exits Circle D on the right (the "next entity").
3 Press Enter to accept the minimum radius value that is displayed on the
command line.
The curve is drawn at Circle D, but this time no warning symbol is
displayed. You can use the command line to quickly apply minimum
values to profile entities as you draw them.
4 Right-click to end the command.

Exercise 3: Viewing and Correcting Profile Design
Criteria Violations
In this exercise, you will check the profile design for criteria violations, and
then learn how to correct violations.
When a profile sub-entity violates a criteria or design check, a warning symbol
is displayed on the sub-entity in the drawing window, Profile Entities vista,
and Profile Layout Parameters dialog box. When the cursor is hovered over a
warning symbol, a tooltip displays information about the violation. If a design
criteria has been violated, the tooltip displays the criteria that has been
violated, as well as the minimum value that is required to meet the criteria.
If a design check has been violated, the tooltip displays the name of the design
check that has been violated.
