CIVIL 3D 2010 - Horizontal Alignment scale Exaggeration

I'm completing a rail alignment survey for a rail about 300 feet long.  One task is to show the "straightness" of the rail.  I have the center points located and then we have drawn a survey figure in C3D.  I'd like to make a viewport that will show this figure line exaggerated away from the true centerline of the rail so I can see it as well as label it.  Graphically redrawing it out of scale was no fun. 

Has anybody ever set up something like this?  The elevation profile does this, for elevations of course, but I've never done this for horizontal.  Any thoughts would be helpful.

Write it into a block, with the long axis on the X-axis. When you insert the block give the Y-axis dimension a scale of 5 or 10.

Not elegant, but it is not something you will do every day
