PROFILE ELEVATION LABEL ISSUES

Is there a way for the program to automatically change profile elevations of intersecting roads.

Say for example i have two intersecting roads ROAD A and ROAD B.

 

On my ROAD A profile at station 0+300 i have a proposed road elevation of 9.5

 

On my ROAD B profile at station 0+000 (intersecting point) I have the same proposed road elevation of 9.5

 

Now i change my ROAD A profile at station 0+300 to 10.3

 

Is there anyway to allow the program to automatically change my ROAD B profile elevations to 10.3

 

IF NOT--

and I have to use the Annotate > Add Labels > Profile View > .......................... labels,

Is there a way for those labels to link across the profiles such that

 

On my ROAD A profile at station 0+300 i put the label at the elevation of 9.5

 

On my ROAD B profile at station 0+000 (intersecting point) I have the same label at the elevation of 9.5

 

Now i change my ROAD A profile at station 0+300 to elevation of 10.3 then is there a way for it to automatically raise the ROAD B elevation label

So that I would know, without having to manually check through, that there is a discrepancy between those intersecting roads.

 

So the real jist of my query is whether I can link my alignments, profiles or annotation labels.

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

Sure. create an intersection with the intersection wizard; it locks the secondary profile to the primary. you can use this ant not create the intersection object if you don't want one

Joe's solution is the best, and that will work. It is a trick I've used several times before. Just create a dummy intersection with nothing in it, and it will accomplish what you seek,
