To Transparently Use a Profile Station and an Elevation to Specify a Point Location

You can specify the X and Y coordinates for a point by identifying a station along the parent alignment of the profile view.

Specify the alignment station and the point elevation either graphically or numerically.

1. When you are prompted to enter a point in a command, do one of the following:
   • Enter 'stae.
   • Activate the transparent command toolbar and select .
2. If the main command is not a profile layout or profile view label command, select a profile view.
3. In plan view, select an alignment.
4. Specify a station on the alignment by either entering the station value or clicking a point on or near the alignment in plan view.

   A selection marker displays the current location on the alignment.

5. Select the profile view again.
6. Specify an elevation in the profile view by either entering an elevation value or clicking a point in the profile view.

   In the profile view, a selection marker displays the current elevation. The station location is held at the station you selected.

7. Do one of the following:
   • Enter another station and elevation.
   • Press Esc to end the transparent command.
