Need help finding out why my profile Grid is extending past my user specified view. I have dealt with this for years now and it is driving me nuts. I have adjusted the padding and offsets in every way possible. And the weird thing is if I change the user specified view at 95' long it extends, but if I change it to 90.5' long it goes away. So in short, this only happens on short profile views. Please help!

Jeff,
Attached is my drawing that has several profiles doing it. It appears to be extending 75' right on the shorter profiles.
I looked at his too and I could get the extra lines to go away if I set the "user" begin station value to match the beginning of alignment but that shouldn't cause this.
In our drawings I'm able to enter a station prior to the alignment start and it works just fine.
One thought I had is to try another profile view style but switching the style does nothing.
Almost wonder if it couldn't be related to 4 alignments within the same Site?
I don't work much with alignments within sites but it seems strange that some/not all profile views have this issue in the dwg.
Since these profiles are relatively short, adding 50' in the "Stations" tab cleared things up pretty quickly.

Super late on this post, but just recently had the same problem. In case you still have this issue, go to the Display tab and make sure Ticks Major/Minor along the correct axis are turned off and click apply.
This is still a problem. After pulling my hair out for a while and reading this forum, I tried making my alignments longer. On my first try, I lengthened them 200 feet (to a total of around 215 feet). It worked. This may not be easy in some alignments, but easier than masking lines.
I too ran into this issue and found a fix (that worked for me anyways) i was working with an alignment that was only 50' in length. I found that if the interval for the Major tick details under the Horizontal Axes tab in the Profile View Style manage (see image) is set to larger than the length of the profile that it will cause the grid to extend to that interval length by default. the style i was using had this interval set to 100' and after changing that to 50' i no longer had the issue.
I also had this problem with the extension of profile grid lines beyond the view, but I found if you Edit Profile Style > Grid Tab> check "Clip horizontal grid" and check "omit grid in padding areas" with the grid padding (major grids) portion filled out, it cleans up the surrounding view lines.
