All points imported unit (meters) in Civil 3D.In "Edit Drawing Settings" dialog box the drawing units are set to meters, ambient tab shows all meter, kilometer/hr, square meter, and so on. But GrAPH labels still show up in feet. i guess. My actual elevation of starting point is 46.94m but in a graph it display 126.67.. can any one help me to find out the solution of this.

Is it possible the PV style came from an Imperial dwt?

You will need to edit the Band Style on the Profile View. In there, you can change units. That said, track down the original template if you can or at least secure a template that you know is all metric.

As mentioned by @Joe-Bouza and @tcorey Styles, including a Profile View Style, can display alternate units to those set in the drawing. The easiest thing would be to see if the drawing contains a metric Profile View Style or to follow the suggestion of @tcorey and import one from a metric template.

The safest thing would be to start over in a verified metric template. That way you're sure there aren't any other issues with the styles.

BTW Being able to set alternate units in a style isn't a bug. It's convenient when asked to provide something in imperial when you're working in meters. Or visa versa.
