Plan Profile Production - Profile View Length and Positioning Issues

[Ntuthuko.]

Good Day

I need help with PlanProf sheet production.

1) After going through the whole process and having 10 sheets created along my one alignment, the profile view on some of the sheets does not fit into the viewport. For example, in the image below the band titles are cut off on the left, and the start of the profile view is clearly not aligned with the start station of the plan view, despite selecting this option in the creation wizard (this is the second sheet in the sequence). How do I solve this?

For the record, both the drawing and the sheet template (plan viewport and the profile viewport) are set to a scale of 1:2000.

2) Furthermore, I would like to fix the position of the profile views of all sheets so that they all align with the left edge of the drawing. Currently they are all over the place. How can I achieve this?

3) I would also like to create the match-lines at intervals of 2000m, so that all profile views are 2000m long except for the last which will be the balance of the alignment length. How can I achieve this?

Thank you for the help.

1 & 2 Sounds like your PnP template tries use the whole display area. Give at least an inch or so (25mm?) at each end to fit. Don't have you profile view grid have any elements, like text or borders (not including bands), outside the grid on the left or you will have to move each view by that amount. In the image I have a 29" viewframe by default but only use 25". The extra 4" handles curves.

3. When creating the View frames, set the match line interval, note they must fit with in the veiwframes defined size in the template , including curves along the alignment.

you refer the MSL labels not the elevations and ticks, right?

I know in the past if I used an offset setting on the elevations it hosed me up good if xrefd

Our profile view has a border around the whole thing, I'm not sure whether its the tick and text which causes the shift or just the border. Either way I have to shift the views by the border offset (.4 inches) every time an engineer notices it. From a drawing in model space at 1"=10'
