I have been prepping some simple utilities layout alignments where the profile is only defined by the elevation at the beginning and end of the alignment. I create the alignment, define the profile by file where the text file contains the start station and elevation and end station and elevation, and then check that it matches the plan by generating the profile view. So at this point I can see my alignment has a profile in its definition, and that the profile is correct to the design as anticipated. When I go to the Trimble Link ribbon and select Export Alignment, and select my alignment from the list, the Export Profile option does not ungrey itself, and if I proceed with the export the .rxl file only contains the horizontal alignment information. If I edit my profile txt file to include a deflection point and curve, even if it is small enough to be essentially still a straight line profile, and redo the profile, then the Export Profile option becomes available in the Trimble Link export window. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to check to be able to export an alignment with a simple straight sloped profile?
