Stations/Elevations
In profile view, TPC displays the station and elevation of each control point in the selected traverses. The beginning station in the profile is the smallest station value in the tagged traverses and the ending station is the largest station value in the tagged traverses.
See Working with Stations.
Miscellaneous Profile Settings
When you view profiles, you can tell TPC what vertical scale ratio to use, how to label the stations, whether or not to draw vertical curves, and more.
To edit these settings, right click a blank part of the drawing and choose Drawing Settings | Miscellaneous.
See Profile Settings.
Individual Profile Settings
To edit the settings for all the profiles at once, right click a blank spot on the drawing and choose Drawing Settings. Choose the settings you want and choose OK. TPC will redraw the profiles with the selected settings.
To display each profile with its own line type, color, symbols, labels, etc. right click any line or label associated with the profile you want to edit, then choose Traverse Drawing Settings, select the options you want and choose OK. TPC will redraw the profiles using each profile's own settings.
Viewing a Single Profile
