About Profile and Profile View Settings

You can review and edit the default style and name format settings for profiles and profile views.

Settings are handled in a standard way throughout Autodesk Civil 3D, and accessed in Toolspace on the Settings tab. Control settings at three levels: the drawing, the feature, and the command.

On the Settings tab, use the Profile and Profile View collection context menus to establish default settings for all profiles and profile views. At this level, you can either change profile-specific settings or override the drawing ambient settings.

Use the Commands collections under the Profile and Profile View collections to change settings for a specific command. At this level, you can change settings specific to commands.

Note: Overrides to the drawing ambient settings affect only the specified level. The drawing level settings are not changed.
