Creating a Plan/Profile Sheet Series
In addition to laying out and generating sheets, you must take other steps
when you create plan/profile sheets, such as customizing settings and
selecting the current alignment and profile in the drawing.
Key Concepts
■ The layout of a plan/profile sheet is determined by the length of profile
that can be displayed per sheet. The plan view is then aligned to coincide
with the profile view.
■ After you generate sheets, you can use commands in the Sheet Tools
menu to copy model space entities to paper space, to rotate annotation,
and to update labels based on changes to the label styles or to the model
space entities.
The following steps describe the process of creating a plan/profile sheet series
