Why are Profiles inserting in a step-like manner in 2010 using Sheet Wizard

[bryancollins3174]

I'm curious to know how come when I go to use the Create Sheet Wizard under Plan Production Tools I get a drawing where my profiles are not lined up in one row, but aligned in a step-like pattern. See attached for example. Any and all help will be much appreciated.

Well after further trial and errors I found the solution. So if anyone else was having this problem then here is the solution. The staggering of profiles during Create Sheets is controlled by rows and/or columns using the Multiple Plot option in the Profile View Wizard.

General >Plan Production Tools>Create Sheets>Profile Views

click on Choose settings: Profile View Wizard>Multiple Plot Options

I chose the following options: Rows, 50 profiles, separation distance 200'

I've attached images of the procedure to follow.

Hope this helps someone out.

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the follow-up. Out of curiosity, what were the settings
prior to this that were resulting in the "stepped" layout of profile views?

The 'stepped' results happens whenever you have more profile views than the number per row setting. Say if you have 6 profile views, but your profiles per ROW option was set to 4 then your result would be 4 on the first row and then 2 on the second row, but they aren't lined up they are in a 'step-like' pattern. Hope that helps.
