AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

in civil 3d 2013 i have a existing surface, alignment, and profile that is data linked into another drawing when i create a profile view from the profile data link when i get to the profile display options under update mode it shows as beening static, i don't want it to be static i want it to be dynamic. is there a way or setting that will let me change that to static? we show the existing grade as hidden but with the static option set the grade shows up with long and short

Unfortunately you can't. The current workaround is to datareference in the surface and then create a surface profile in that drawing for your alignment. This way if the surface changes, the profile changes and you can use linetypes.

thanks for the answer. i hope they fix this in a patch. in 2012 the line comes in as dynamic.

It has never been dynamic for me, in C3D2007-C3D2012. I have always used the same method Brian described.

for us, in 2012 it always data linked as dynamtic and you could change it static
