This command calculates the elevation and slope along a profile at user specified stations or intervals. The routine allows three types of profile input options: Profile File (an existing .PRO file), Screen Profile (existing grid and polyline profile), or None (allows you to specify station-elevation points without referencing a profile). If the Screen Profile option is used, the profile polyline direction must match that of the stationing on the grid.
There are two Output options: Report and Label Profile. The Report option will send the output data to the standard report viewer, which can then be printed, saved to a file or plotted in the drawing. The Label Profile option will create text on the existing grid and polyline profile. With either option, the user will be prompted to enter or pick the station to report unless the Report at Interval option is checked on. In this case, the reporting will be done automatically at the interval specified. With the Label Profile option, the user has the additional options for defining the data to be labeled (Station, Elevation, Both or None), the slope format and the vertical position of the text on the grid.
This command can also be used as a profile inspector. As you
move the cursor around, the station, elevation and profile grade
are displayed in a real-time window, unless you specify the more
automatic "report at interval" method. If Prompt for snap is set on
(available in non-interval mode), then when a point on the profile
is picked, you have the opportunity to snap to an even 1, 5 or 10
stations.
