    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.
