To Create Grading by Copying an Existing Grading

Copy the criteria and style from an existing grading and apply it to a grading you create.

After selecting the grading from which to copy the criteria and style, create the new grading by selecting the footprint from which the grading is projected and selecting the side of the footprint from which to grade.

2. In the Grading Creation Tools dialog box, click the arrow next to . Click Copy Create Grading.
3. In the drawing, select the grading from which you want to copy the criteria and style.
4. Select the footprint in the drawing and select the side of the footprint from which to grade.

   If you are grading from another grading’s daylight line, you are not prompted for the grading side because only one side is available.

5. Click in the drawing to indicate the side of the footprint to which you want to apply the grading.

   Depending on the criteria definition, you may have to specify a distance and a slope value. For more information about the various options, see Criteria Tab (Grading Criteria Dialog Box).

6. Specify whether you want to apply the grading to the entire length of the line. To apply the grading only to a region, enter n and then specify the start and end points on the footprint that define the region.
7. Respond to any remaining prompts to complete the grading.
