Big surprise right?
Anyway I made a copy of a base drawing and made some design changes to my profiles. The profiles views were created way back in 2008 and have a bunch of pipe network stuff in them and I would rather not redo them. The problem is, I thought I could data shortcut the profile in later, but when I create a reference they go to a new alignment object AlignmentName(1). Is there a way I can get them into AlignmentName.?
Thanks Steve, that works except the profile data band I use for left and right eop does not recognize SI profiles. Or maybe ther is something I am missing?
Can you use the datashortcut editor to remap all of the datashortcuts to the new file? This would need to be done to the alignment as well. There is no way I know of to move a profile to a new alignment.

Roger that. I'm not worried about the alignemnt, but need the data band desperately. I made companion profile views that only show the DB and placed them under my origina profile views. Which leads to a new question: my DB has labes on the left that work great in the first view, but overlap the data in the next views, any tips?
I hate to say it but another databand with the text justified to fit. Wipeout the databands that don't justify correctly.

It looks like you're trying to display superelevation data from one profile view on another. Unfortunately that is about the only type of data that cannot be read from a superimposed profile, since it actually comes from the source alignment. It sounds like you have a workaround, at least for this drawing.
For the labels, would turning off the start and end stations in that data band help?
