202 | Chapter 15 Creating Plan, Profile, and Cross Section Sheets
Creating Plan, Profile, and Cross
Section Sheets
You can create sheets that show the current project’s alignments, profiles,
and cross sections by using the Sheet Manager commands.
You can create three types of sheets.
■ Plan/Profile Sheets: A series of sheets generated for an alignment and
profile. Each plan/profile sheet contains a station range of the profile and
the corresponding plan view.
■ Profile Sheets: A series of sheets generated for sequential station ranges of
a profile.
■ Cross Section Sheets: A series of sheets generated for cross sections. Each
cross section sheet contains multiple cross sections, based on the number
of cross sections that fit within a section frame for the specified scale.
To create plan and profile sheets, the alignment and profile must be present
in the drawing. To correctly label finish draft pipe runs, they must also be
present in the drawing. In contrast, cross section sheets are based on the cross
sections that exist in the project database, not on cross sections that may be
plotted in the drawing.
The process of creating sheets can be simple or advanced, depending on
whether you use sheet style templates that are provided with the program or
whether you customize a sheet style to use additional label styles.
