This command allows you to convert a polyline that is drawn on a
profile grid into a profile (.PRO) file. The polyline must be drawn
in the direction of stationing. Vertical curves, which are
typically parabolas, will be captured as a series of
vertices. The polyline can either be used to create a new
profile (.PRO) file, or can be appended to an existing profile
(.PRO) file.
