View/Edit Corridor Section, Haven't been in LDT in a long time so I'm not quite sure if this is what you are looking for.

Draw a line, polyline, whatever, right-click and selet Quick Profile. Pick styles if you want to and then click a point to draw the profile view on the screen.

Remember, it's temporary, so when you save, that profile view will disappear.

Edit: Have to hit the submit button faster....

Mark the Temporary Quick Profile can be made to be Permanent by Exporting the profile through XML, and then reimporting it to the file.

You should be in this class today; wherein I have heads exploding from all the new information I'm filling them with.  :-D :roll:

It's a great group of folks from a Water Conservation District in NY, and some NRCS folks.

Boy the heads stopped exploding! And now they are doing back flips over getting AUTOMATIC linework from their data collectors!
