3 Review the Alignment/Profile Data section information. If the wrong alignment
is listed, then exit the command and use the Select Alignment and the Set
Current Profile commands to set the current alignment and profile.
4 Select a sheet style. Click the Set Style button to display the Set Current Sheet
Style dialog box. Use this dialog box to set the sheet style, and then click OK to
return to the Edit Sheet Series Data dialog box.
5 Type the starting sheet number. The sheets are numbered sequentially starting
with the starting sheet number. When the sheet series is generated, the sheets
are automatically saved to the sheet series folder in the format s001.dwg,
s002.dwg, and so on, where 1 is the starting sheet number.
6 Type the sheet overlap distance. The sheet overlap distance controls how much
each sheet in the series overlaps the following sheet in the sequence. Enter this
distance in model space units (such as alignment length units). If you selected
the Use Fixed Profile Stations option in the Sheet Manager Settings dialog box,
then the sheet overlap distance value is the amount of overlap for the profile.
7 Click OK to save the settings, or Cancel to cancel the command.
Creating a Profile Sheet Series Layout
To determine what part of the profile is on each sheet in the series, you need to
lay out the series. When you lay out a series, rectangular view definitions are
placed over the profile view of the alignment in model space. Each rectangle
represents one sheet in the series. The profile view definitions are all placed in
model space at the same datum elevation. You may need to adjust the datum
elevation of the view definitions so they cover the areas of the profile that you
want to display on the sheet.
NOTE
This is a model space command.
