How can I show 1500 feet of stationing in my plan andprofile sheet?

When I run my production sheets I'm only seeing 1300 feet of my profile and I like to see 1500 feet of my profile at 50 scale. Is there a way to show 1500 feet of profile?

Click in Viewport Lt click PFL grid Rt click.
Profile View Properties, stationing tab, toggle to user and adjust stationing as needed.

I have one more situation, my profiles are setup for vertical 1 to 5 and horizontal 1 to 50., when I run my plan production sheets the profile is showing 1 to 40 scale, my vertical is 1 to 4 in a 50 scale viewport. What I need to do?

No Problem.

See attached to crorrect your H/V scaling.

Enter "5" in Custom Scale field (assuming your keeping the 5 vertical otherwise 10 etc.)

 

You'll need to make the scales match to match your workflow.

Sounds like either the Plan Prod Layout your using or the Profile View Settings for Vert. scale aren't set properly or both.

 

A few important things to set properly for this in your dwt's so you aren't changing it all the time:

1. View Frame Group_Commands_Create View Frames_Default Styles_PFL View Style.

2. Choose the appropriate Layout when creating view frames from Plan Prod dwt containing VP set at desired scale.

the profile is scaling right in the base drawing like it should, just the my plan sheets or not.

Assuming the caption came from te PFL view settings of the plan sheet that's not showing the grid properly then is your viewport scale of the profile set to 1"=40'?

 

To be clear you desire it all to be at 1"=50' H & 1"=5' Vert. right?

 

The basics:

 

Horizontal scale for plan sheets is set by viewport in layout drawings

Vertical scale is set in pfl view settings that are being used.

 

Please post a caption of the plan/profile sheet if this doesn't help.

Correct, my desire is 1"=50'h & 1"=5'v. My viewport is set to 50 scale in my production sheet and my vertical scale is set correctly in in the view settings base drawing, still getting a 40 scale grid in profile. See attachment.

The profile view properties settings were determined when you created the sheet so click on pfl grid in the viewport and go through setting the vertical on graph tab of profile view properrties & set vertical scale.

my profile view settings in the plan sheet is set to the correct scale, but is showing 40 scale. i double checked my base drawing to make sure that the setting are set as well and run the sheets again. I still have a 40 scale profile. I don't understand why? I have Civil 3D at home and I brought this project home, it works just fine at home. Is there any other setting that will throw this profile off like this?

Further more, I just change the profile view setting on the graph tab in my plan sheet to another scale and nothing happens.

base drawing profile reads vertical 1"=5', but the plan sheet reads 1"=4'.

What's really strange, I created a shortcut drawing and ran a surface profile. My profile in the base shortcut drawing is showing 40 scale just like my plan sheet. I check the graph tab in settings and it is set 1"=5' vertical and current horizontal is 50 scale

I think I found the issue, we just started running Civil 3D 2012, and my system is only a 32-bit system, which I express to my supervisor that we should be running on a 64-bit system. My system at home is a 64-bit system and runs everything ok. Thanks for all the help Jay.
