Corridor featurelines have been a bit of a sticky situation for people out there. Due to the corridor being ala connect the dots, feature lines end up being tessellated line segments rather than true curves along things like flowlines. Alot of folks have asked for a little more control over these, often a profile and alignment are needed along flowline. There is a new command setting available in 2008 for Create Grading Featureline from corridor and Create Alignment from corridor. The command setting is in the popup:

Now first of all, you may be wondering, is smoothen really a word? Yes it is, I checked the dictionary before we shipped because I wasnt quite sure. People with larger vocabularies than I design the product. Anyways our default settings for both of these commands are to create smoothened entities.

No Smoothing
