Copy Profile to another Alignment

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to copy a profile into another alignment?. The way I'm doing
this is as follows:

- Export Profile to LandXML
-Import LandXML profile
-Superimpose profile into desired alignment profile
-Draw profile by Layout on top of the superimposed profile.

Is there a quicker way to do this or am I in the right path?

Thanks

First, you are assuming the station values of all your profiles are the same.



I open the existing profile editor

expand the table view

highlight all and "copy"



Paste into Excel

Delete header row and all columns except "station" Elev" and if needed "curve leng"

save this to a "CSV" file open in and word editor and replace "," with space, "+" with nothing and " ' " with nothing.



Import this with the "create profile from file"



Sounds like a lot, but goes fast and you can import into any alignment that has the same station values.

How about vertical curves information?.

If the existing profile has VC's then you keep the column in excel.



The final text file should be space delimited:



STA ELEV CURVE



So a 200' VC at station 12+00 and a VPI elev of 100.00' would be:



1200 100.00 200
