Out of the Box, no.

If you use third party tools, such as Sincpac-C3D, then yes. (CAPFEATURE - Create Alignment/Profile from Featureline)

[#3 · Accepted solution]

You Can:

Offset the Feature Line (say 1') Explode it. (Changes to a polyline).

Offset the Polyline back, define it as an alignment.

If it's a corridor feature line you want to convert...

Make Alignment

select corridor

corridor contextual tab - launch pad panel - alignments from corridor

cmd line> Select a corridor feature line: pick the feature line to convert

Create Alignment dialog box - Name the new alignment, uncheck Create Profile (make next with more flexibility).

New Alignment will be indicated in corridor.

Make Profile of Alignment

select corridor

corridor contextual tab - launch pad panel - profile from corridor

cmd line> select a corridor feature line: select same feature line (may want to freeze the layer the new alignment is on, making it easier to pick feature line, or use the draworder command and move the alignment back).

Create Profile - Draw New dialog box - Name the Profile  and set Profile Style/Label Set as desired.

New Profile should appear in the Profile of the base line alignment used in the corridor

Does that sound reasonable?
