You cannot insert a standalone profile into a drawing. You can however insert a profile as a polyline into the drawing. This process would be most useful when you want to make changes to the profile shape. You insert the profile as a polyline, make changes to the polyline, and then re-convert the polyline to the profile.
- Click
. - Select the profile you want to insert as a polyline.
- Select the insertion point in the drawing, and place the polyline.
- Make changes to the polyline as needed.
- If you want to save the polyline shape back to the profile, select the polyline, right-click, choose Convert to Profile.
- On the command line, enter e (Existing), and select the name of the existing profile in the Profile Definitions worksheet.
The current polyline shape will overwrite the profile definition.
- If you want to save the changed polyline shape to a new profile, enter n (New) and enter the name for the new profile.
