Importing (Not Data Referencing) a Profile

I want to create a live instance of an existing FG-Profile that I somebody else did into our master profile drawing.  Is there an easy way to do this? I don't want to data reference it in.

 

I tried exporting the FG-Profile information into a .txt file and then use the "create a profile from file", but for whatever reason C3D didn't like my profile info was giving me an error message.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Create a data shortcut then instead of dreffing it, promote it into the current drawing.

Thanks! I'm still new to Civil3D and have always wondered what promoting your dref would do. Good to know

You could also export the profile to a LandXML and import it into your other drawing.

I've got to ask, why do you want the "live" profile in two different places?  Kind of defeats the purpose.
