Quick Profile Lock Down

[f_bobadilla]

Not everytime but very often when I create a quick profile from line, polyline or feature line, my Autocads locks.  The only thing I can see is the command prompt asking to specify the point of origin for the quick profile and I can't seem to do anything.  The only way to get out of the command is by trying to close the autocad window in the task bar or task manager. 

To fix this it takes various steps: regenall, zooming out, but still the odd time I get it to work.  This seems to me like a video card issue, but I had this problem with several video cards and windows versions (7&8).  Currently using Nvidia Geoforce GTX 770M.  This is quite annoying and time consuming.  I'm wondering if anyone is getting similar issues and perhaps solutions to this issue?  Running Civil 3D 2014

Thanks!

Since you are having trouble with the quick Profile and a quick Profile is not saved when closing, perhaps this may help.  I usually make a Misc. alignment and keep it off to the side.  When I want a profile I just drag it over the line or whatever and use it again.  The profile is already waiting as well.

Hi Bill,

That's a pretty smart idea, however how would you handle profiles from 3d entities such as feature lines?  I will definetely use your trick for when I'm checking surfaces only.  But there are instances where I want a profile of a feature line and a surface.

Thanks,

Francisco

Does the PROJECTOBJECTSTOPROF command do what you need?
