Chapter 3 Working with Profiles and Vertical Alignments
188
To change the profile labeling properties after creating a profile and vertical
alignment
1 From the Profiles menu, choose Create Profile ä Set Properties to display the
Profile Properties dialog box.
The alignment on which the profile is based is listed at the top of the
dialog box.
2 In the Station Increment box, you can control how often you label tangents
and vertical curves along the profile.
3 In the Tangent Increment box, you can adjust the increment at which the
finished ground tangents are labeled with their elevations.
These labels are placed underneath the profile.
4 In the Curve Increment box, you can adjust the increment at which the vertical
curves are labeled with their elevations.
The incremental labels are placed underneath the profile.
5 Under Label Precision Values, enter precision values for existing and finished
ground elevation labels. You can type a number in the boxes, or use the left and
right arrows to control the precision value.
6 Click OK.
7 Re-import the profile using the Import commands from either the FG Vertical
Alignments or the DT Vertical Alignments submenus.
Removing the Profile Definition Block From a
Drawing After Deleting a Profile
When you create a profile, a profile definition block is created for that profile.
This block stores the profile direction, precisions, datum elevation, labeling
increments, starting and ending stations, and layer names. When you erase a
profile, the profile definition block is not automatically removed from the
drawing. To delete this block, use the Undefine Profile command.
NOTE
You can also overwrite this profile block by recreating the profile with one
of the Create Profile commands, such as Full Profile.
