- Profile

Layer -
Opens the Object Layer dialog box. Specify the layer on which the feature line should be created. This layer cannot be specified if Use Selected Entity Layers is selected under Conversion Options.
- Create Dynamic Link to the Alignment
-
Creates a dynamic link to the alignment so that the feature line updates dynamically with any changes to the alignment or the selected vertical alignment. If the feature line is created with the dynamic link, the link can be disabled, using the Feature Line Properties dialog box. If the dynamic link is disabled, it cannot be restored.
- Selected: The feature line is linked to the alignment.
- Cleared: The feature line is not linked to the alignment and can be edited with any of the feature line editing commands.
