ssm-jt,

if you attach a sample dwg, with your profile view and some notes about what you need, is easiest somebody could help you.

The correct code is below.

(defun c:get_prof_elev (/)

    (setq profview (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (nentsel "\nSelect Profile View "))))
    (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSelect Point "))
    (setq pt1x (car pt1))
    (setq pt1y (cadr pt1))
    (setq staoff (vlax-invoke-method profview 'FindStationAndElevationAtXY pt1x pt1y 'sta 'elev))
    (print sta)
    (print elev)

    (princ)
)
