Thanks for your response. I guess what I'm thinking is similar to what is
happening with Civil3D and what has happened to contours. When the contours
are created, they have a certain layer, color, style, etc. that they are
created with. Currently, profiles are just plain vanilla white & continuous
and whatever the current style happens to be.
Just trying to bid time until they get 3D as a full release...
