PH-viewport handle for the hidden profile layer
For example, if you create a profile in a viewport whose handle is 4B, the
blocks containing the visible lines are inserted on layer PV-4B, and the block
containing the hidden lines (if requested) is inserted on layer PH-4B. If these
layers do not exist, the command creates them. If the layers do exist, the
blocks are added to the information already on the layers.
NOTE To determine the handle of a viewport, select the viewport while in paper
space and use the
LIST (page 583) command. Choose a layout tab to move from
model space to paper space.
SOLPROF does not change the display of layers; if you want to view only the
profile lines that you have created, turn off the layer containing the original
solid (usually the current layer).
No Treats all profile lines as visible lines and creates a block for the profile
lines of each selected solid. All profile lines for each solid in the selection set
are generated, even if a solid is partially or completely obscured by another
solid. The visible profile blocks are drawn in the same linetype as the original
solid and placed on a uniquely named layer using the naming convention
described under the Yes option.
NOTE Solids that overlap each other (share some common volume) produce
dangling edges if you request hidden-line removal. This happens because the
edges must be broken at the point where they enter another solid to separate
them into visible and hidden portions. You can eliminate dangling edges by
combining the overlapping solids (using
UNION (page 1128)) before generating a
profile.
Yes Creates the profile lines with 2D objects.
The 3D profile is projected onto a plane normal to the viewing direction and
passing through the origin of the UCS. SOLPROF cleans up the 2D profile by
eliminating lines that are parallel to the viewing direction and by converting
arcs and circles that are viewed on edge into lines.
